Hello gang, welcome back to the Official BadEgg YouTube channel
I have big announcement for today, as well as new rap releasing in 1 minute. Guess who just couldn’t handle dating the coolest of the cool boys, Mischa Bachinski ‼️‼️
NATALIA MURUSKA BOLINSKA
And here is my RESPONSE…
*deep inhale.*
*hip-hop music starts playing.*
I’m too cool for the schools, yeah I’m gonna break some rules, yeah I’m too cool and it’s true, yeah Cause I’m so awesome-sauce, epic boss, turn it up and do a toss, makes all the homies say “hell yeah!”
Scrolling on the Tumblrs when I see on my feed Another cool anon sends a message that I read They hit me with a “why”, I hit the reply I slide into the DMs ‘cause I’m just so fly
I fly like the bird, I rap like Eminem candy Call me C. Blackwood, my life is so dandy Dandy- dandelions, they blow into the wind I never take no Ls, yeah, I’m always on a win WOAH

Now it’s me and the choir, living out the dream This crazy dream of life, it spins ‘til we scream Our heads are attached and our bodies are alive But my heart feels empty, shattered inside..
I swore to you my life at the alter of the gods Yet my love was not enough to fight against our odds Maybe it was me, you were never meant to stay So close to my fingertips yet so far away
…
I’m too cool for the feels, yeah This heartfelt shit is for reals, yeah Cannot conceal my pain, but still I know my name and I say it again, ‘cause

um hello ! have my concept for an rtc swap au . none of the swaps are down to a T so penny won’t start rapping about money in autotune but they do share a lot of similarities . think ‘what happens if this character is in their situation?’
STILL GETS DECAPITATED AS YOU CAN SEE , but she's been identified by her foster family so she wasn't left in the dust
i'm sorry but there has to be a bunch of pent-up rage in this girl's system her entire stay in uranium is just being misunderstood like i'm plenty sure she has a Lot of resentment for the town because of it
swaps with mischa ! shares the traits of being in another family, definitely having a youtube channel ... and feeling homesick .
really misses elysium but knows going back there is impossible . there’s no changing that
lost and confused . very awkward . a Creature
retains most of her memories from her past life but that’s it . ‘the pushed aside and just seen as nice here’ is exaggerated to the point that’s the only thing people remember her for
swaps with jane , won’t be seen as a freaky monster but the choir does get creeped out by how often she dissociates throughout the competition
”oh yeah , i remember helping ocean with her crutches , and the choir … fall fair was fun … i was also helping with the blackwood cafe…” “but do you remember anything about yourself?”
”none that doesn’t pain me”
still has talia , in fact he still shares the same motivation of wanting to move back to ukraine to marry her .
HAS A BETTER SITUATION IN THIS ONE . is constance's adoptive brother but they weren't really too close ...
swaps with constance as you can tell ! despite being in a better situation he never felt like he integrated into the community and still has this resentment for canada
did it take a horrible accident for him to make peace with it ? probably
of course there are other characters (if you're curious, ricky is noel, noel is ocean and ocean is ricky, and i did somehow get karnak and virgil in the au) these are just the ones i put the most thought into SGHFS i hope to make the rest when i get back to my computer

10 Letters to Mom - Mischa angst
Mischa is instructed to write letters to his mother as if she were still alive to cope with losing her. He doesn’t write often, but the letters convey a lot.
Letters from Mischa Bachinski to his late mom, translated from his slightly broken English by Ezra Lamb, St. Cassian’s student, in memory of the boy, lost to the September 14th accident.
Letter 1: Dated September 9th, 2008
Dear mom,
The counselor says I should write to someone I love to practice my English. And so, I am writing to you. Perhaps I will burn these letters by firelight, in hopes the smoke will travel up to you.
Canada is not as nice as I thought it would be. Classes are terrible. In maths I have to sit between a snotty ginger and a strange poet boy. It makes no sense, how all of these people exist together in this tiny town. Home is no better. I do not think Chris and Carly like me that much. No, I will not call them mom and dad.
I still miss you. Part of me still yearns to be a helpless boy again, still in your arms.
I miss you.
Love, your son,
Mischa
Letter 2: Dated October 24th, 2008
Mom,
I was suspended. I’m so sorry. I promised you I would be your good son, your small boy always. But I got angry. I was spiteful, and I wanted a drink, a drink always makes things better. And I only knew one way to get one.
I know you said that churches are sacred and not to be crossed, but I heard the ginger from maths say she knew the pastor, knew where the communion wine was kept. I milked every last bit of information from her, promising to join her stupid choir. It doesn’t matter, I need the alcohol.
3 whole boxes I stole before she ratted me out to Father Markus.
I drank it all in one night. And the next morning, Saturday, as I lay there, hungover in the basement, I wondered how I was ever going to make my life worth it for you. I still do not know.
I’m sorry, mom.
Love, Mischa
Letter 3: Dated November 17th, 2008
Mother,
I have a new hobby. I think you’d be proud—I am learning to sing. Not opera, or the god-awful jazz that poet boy listens to during study hall, no, this is the good stuff. Real, bonerfied rap music. (note: I know it’s supposed to say bonified, but Mischa would think boner-fied is hilarious, may he rest in peace —Ezra)
I even created a channel on this thing called the YouTube—it is called “Bad Egg” because it is an egg, that is bad. Bad is a good thing, it means cool, or that is what the football boys think. Maybe this new thing will turn out well. I am raging, mother, for you and for Ukraine. And when I rage, I rap about money in autotune.
I will inspire the world. My life will have meaning once again.
Love, Mischa
Letter 4: Dated December 30th, 2008
Mom!
I have got the biggest, greatest news. I have found LOVE! Me, your silly boy, your little child that you raised all by yourself, is engaged!
Ever since my YouTube channel was born, a certain beautiful woman has been leaving kind comments on my YouTube comments wall. Her name is Natalia, and last night she had the courage to message me. She announced her love for me over the internet, and it is a truly beautiful thing. She even sent me picures, and she is the most gorgeous woman I have ever met.
I wish that you could have lived long enough to meet my perfect Talia, for when I look into her almond eyes, I do not see the boy I am, but the man I must become to possess her. I am growing up, mama, but I promise I will always be here, and that you will always be in my heart.
Love, Mischa
Letter 5: Dated January 31st, 2009
Dear mom,
I want to tell you about choir.
Most of the school is scared of me, they think I am some bad boy who lives in the woods. But the choir seems to just have it out for me. Annoying ginger is the leader: she is stuck-up, and a real pain in my you know what. Her real name is Ocean, which I suppose fits, because she is salty and rough and probably drowns people. Poet boy is there too, his name is Noel, and he is the least insufferable of the group. He is gay, which is fine, but funny because if he were a girl, he would so be my type. He is nice, but odd. Then there is a boy named Ricky. This month, Ocean decided she needed to prove that choir was accessable for all, so she got boy who cannot speak to join. I never know what he is thinking. He is scary. Last, there is Constance. Sometimes she cries in the corner when she thinks the others do not see. I see. I wonder if she is okay. I hope she knows I am not okay. I hope she knows she is not lonely.
I thought choir was going to be the bane of my existance. But…I think it has grown on me.
I miss you. I love you.
Love, Mischa
Letter 6: Dated March 6th, 2009
Hello mom,
Yesterday was Noel’s birthday, so Constance brought in cupcakes for everyone. They were red velvet, and very tasty, much better than Carly’s cooking. Carly is no replacement mother, and her basement has cockroaches. I sleep with the roaches. Perhaps I will name them.
I continue to make videos, and to make love with Talia when I can. I hope I get to meet her some day. In fact, I know I will. Mom, I want to come back to Ukraine. I will meet Talia, and we will love each other in person.
Tomorrow, we are singing at a local soccer game. We are singing some song that Father Markus wrote for us. I do not want to be on stage. I guess I will have to get comfortable with it.
It‘s getting late, almost time to meet Talia. I love you mom.
Your son, Mischa.
Letter 7: Dated May 15th, 2009
Mom, I have a dilemma.
Please, tell me you wouldn’t be upset if I told you that I think maybe I like boys?
Last night, Ocean hosted a choir get-together at her place. It was small and cramped. She and Constance ended up sharing the sofa, Ricky took the armchair, leaving myself and Noel on a blow-up air mattresss. I tried so, so hard to give him space, but I’m not a small guy, and somehow we ended up nestled together under the blankets, somehow I ended up lost in his eyes and staring at his lips-
It felt like betrayal. Like if Talia knew, she would have my head. She wants me to be loyal.
But how can I be loyal when Noel watches me with those stupid baby cow eyes? How can I stay at her side when Noel is right there?
It’s so confusing, mom.
-Mischa
Letter 8: Dated June 19th, 2009
School is finally out, mom. I spend every day scrambling for ways to make a quick buck so I can buy cheap vodka. It’s a bad habit, but hard to kick. I wish I could kick it, I do…
But instead, I beat a kid for a 20 dollar bill from his enemy, sold the foster folks’ antique china, and now am in even more heat with them. They cry at my presence and shoo me away like fly.
I do not mind. At least I do not have to go to school and see Noel and his stupid sparkly eyes and his stupid beautiful face. I will spend this summer with Talia, like I’m supposed to.
Letter 9: Dated August 18th, 2009
It is my birthday. I woke up to a box of cupcakes sitting on the floor above the basement stairs. Carly says they were left for me by the Blackwoods. I opened the box, and they were chocolate with vanilla icing, but found strawberry jam in the center when I bit in, a pleasant surprise. There was also a note. It said “happy birthday Mischa! Love Constance, Ricky, Ocean and Noel”
I smiled when I saw it. I hated being in the choir, but it might just be one of the better parts of my life now.
I am 18 now, and that means I can do lots of things. Hopefully one of those is coming back to Ukraine. I miss home, I miss home, I miss home.
I do want to see Talia, but part of me wants to bring Noel home with me. You’d love him, mama.
Your son (now an adult),
Mischa
Letter 10: Dated September 14th, 2009
Mom,
This letter will not be too long, because I am singing with the choir at the Fall Fair this afternoon. It is 6:00 am and I am scrawling some quick words across this paper. Tonight I will tell Noel how I feel. I will tell him I love him and that I have eyes for him. I will tell him soon.
Tomorrow, I will write again and tell you how it goes.
I can’t wait to have him in my arms, mom.
Your son,
Mischa

Lil Uzi Vert Album Review: Eternal Atake/LUV vs. the World 2
(Generation Now/Atlantic)
BY JORDAN MAINZER
Lil Uzi Vert has always been a singles rapper. While tracks like “XO TOUR Llif3″, the Pharrell-assisted “Neon Guts”, and last year’s “Free Uzi” show him at the top of his powers, he’s never been able to sustain the momentum across an entire record. The same goes for the long-awaited Luv Is Rage 2 follow-up Eternal Atake, and especially its bonus album Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2. But at least the first comes close, and on both, the highs have never been higher. Sure, Kendrick Lamar covered the personified braggadocio in a more interesting and complex way in “Backseat Freestyle” than Uzi has in his entire catalog, but Lamar’s an unfair comparison. Where Uzi excels unlike any other rapper is in his head, a tornado of emotion and cultural milieu, and how he’s able to skip the page and put it out in the open at the drop of a pin.
Indeed, Uzi’s production style-adaptive rapping is far better than his lyricism. On opener “Baby Pluto” (the introduction to the first third of Eternal Atake, where Uzi inhabits his superego alter ego Baby Pluto), he fills the space between cascading chimes with his forceful, driving bars. On “Lo Mein”, he’s more melodic among washes of spacey production. “POP” is perhaps most impressive, with Uzi rapping off-beat and adlibbing, at one point repeating “Balenci” more times than Jeff Tweedy screams “Nothing” at the end of “Misunderstood”, evoking the mania required to shop for loads of expensive shit more than if he were to narrate his binge. And on “Homecoming”, he goes so hard trying to outdo Bugz Ronin’s interweaving bass beats that he’s hoarse by the end, a visceral display of dominance.
Uzi occasionally shines on the Renji section of Eternal Atake, a character supposed to represent his sweeter side. On “I’m Sorry”, he apologizes to an ex for his behavior, cooing with auto-tune over a playful arpeggio beat. What stands out here, for the most part, is the production: the gentle guitar noodling and gospel vocal samples on “Bigger Than Life” and the soulful R&B-meets-drill of Chief Keef’s “Chrome Heart Tags” are the two best-sounding tracks on the record. Unfortunately, this section is also where the momentum generally stalls. Uzi inhabits the uglier sides of Pluto, previewing the third character, named simply Uzi, who isn’t so different from Pluto. Immaturely lamenting girls for only liking him for his fame on “Bust Me” is forgivable, and so is bragging about watches, bags, money, and guns; they’ve been done before. But claiming he can turn a gay girl straight on “Venetia” is another. It reeks of Tyler, the Creator’s early shock jock personality that he’s now all-but abandoned. (It also ignorantly follows the only feature on the album, the brilliant Syd-assisted pop of “Urgency”, from a gay woman.) On “Futsal Shuffle 2020″, a bonus track, he raps, “I had a cougar with me, so I call that girl Coretta,” either incorrectly thinking that Coretta Scott King was a black panther or being #sorandom. It’s moments like these, whether nonsensical, misinformed, or cliche, that you wished he had used a page as an intermediary.
It’s clear that Uzi, if anything, has a great memory, and a limitless supply of images from which to pull, so it’s no surprise his wordplay is most effective when he takes from the obscurities of his childhood or YouTube wormholes, and his life experiences. He’s infectious on “Silly Watch”: “Got a Richard Mille, this is not a silly watch / All this money make me wan’ hit my Diddy Bop.” “You Better Move” is certainly a highlight, centering around a sample of Space Cadet Pinball, Uzi hurling insults based off technology few remember. (“I’m an iPod, man, you more like a Zune.”) “That Way”, the other bonus track, interpolates one of the Backstreet Boys’ biggest hits. And “P2″ is a worthy successor to “XO TOUR Llif3″; replicating the flow of the song and even sampling it, Uzi waxes about his substance abuse issues and issues with his ex, a rare moment of clarity at the end of a somewhat exhausting record.
As for Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World 2? You could say that best thing about it is that it doesn’t fall under the “victory lap” or “fun but didn’t really need to exist” category. It certainly has more to offer than that, though it’s not as ambitious as Eternal Atake. Instead, it’s an entirely collaborative record, the polar opposite of Eternal Atake, and Uzi mostly steps out of the way, for better and for worse depending on who he’s collaborating with. The production, often by Oogie Mane and Pi’erre Bourne, takes a lead, on tracks like the orchestral “I Can Show You”, off-kilter, swaying “Moon Relate”, crisscrossing arpeggios of “Money Spread”, tropical electric ricochet of the melodic “Got the Guap”, the fried “Strawberry Peels”, the melancholy “Trap This Way (This Way)”, and spacey, Future-featuring “Wassup”, Uzi’s voice harmonizing with the beat. These make Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 worth it.
It’s clear, though, that Uzi’s run out of things to talk about. “Lotus” is a drug and wealth anthem. “Myron” is a brag track, Uzi reminding us that he’s different. Consecutive tracks have Shaquille O’Neal references. “No Auto” features conscious self-comparisons to Lil Wayne and a confounding anti-autotune declaration. The laziness with which Uzi raps, “Whip it up like Benihana” on “Come This Way” makes you question whether he’s even trying. So does “Bean (Kobe)”, a turn-up banger that’s not bad, but something that he, Keef, and Bourne could do in their sleep. And closer “Leaders” features NAV, one of the worst rappers alive, declaring, among other things, that he doesn’t care about politics and would perform at the Super Bowl for the money. If you’ve run out of things to talk about, and you’re gonna let someone else do the talking, at least make it someone like 21 Savage--which, to his credit, Uzi does on “Yessirskiii”.
Taken together, Eternal Atake and Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 are like The Weeknd’s Trilogy. Overwhelming as a whole, great in small doses, and fascinating--depending on your mood and level of patience.
