Greetings, all. A couple weeks ago, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Snoop Dogg and PSY (yes, the “Gangnam Style” guy) dropped a collaboration called “Hangover.” To say the very least, it was an odd song.

I’m probably months late on completely speaking on this whole thing, but I’d rather have some time to think through everything and create something thought-provoking over something just for views and shock value.
