Hey so, don’t do this!

I’m not dropping their URLs for obvious reasons (They’re both clearly newly made blogs anyway, possibly because they knew what they were doing was rude) but this is the absolute WORST attitude to have. There is so much to unpack here. and it’s kind of a bit comical. This got kind of long, so I’m putting the rest under a cut.

First off, just because you used the word ‘please’ does not mean you’re being nice or have any manners whatsoever. Second, asking a stranger you never talked to before for something, giving them a deadline of a few days, then telling them to ‘be quick’ and that you ‘need’ something from them is actually so so so insane. I learned that lesson when I was twelve, the first year I had access to the internet. Technically, I learned it before then, because the same rules apply in real life. You don’t talk to strangers that way in real life. Too many people online have this idea that societal rules, general kindness and basic empathy don’t apply once they go online, and it’s one of the worst things that has ever happened to the internet. Also, what the hell do you ‘need’ unreleased demos for? Like, genuinely. I can’t even come up with anything as a joke. And uh, “Girl I know you’re active.” Huh??? I don’t care that you know I’m active, I’m not giving you anything regardless of how chronically online I am since you came off so harsh and demanding right from the start. For the next message, I’m assuming they meant ‘pick up the pace’ which, again, is demanding something from a complete stranger who owes you nothing. So no, I’m not giving anything to anyone who feels entitled enough to demand something from a stranger so brazenly. No one in the unreleased community, or any community I can think of, is willing to share things that they have spent years collecting to someone who demands like this.

As for the second person, I’ll admit, I at least have to admire their dedication. A few messages (the screenshot doesn’t show all of them) spanning across two and a half weeks before they eventually gave up. Kind of like a crazy guy on Tinder constantly messaging someone who has ghosted them due to their obsessive behavior. And that’s what this is! Obsessive behavior! I get being obsessed with Taylor Swift and her unreleased stuff; I am too! But it is not normal to demand for someone’s entire library that they spent over a decade collecting, especially someone that you have never messaged before.

I’d like to add: I know I don’t own any of Taylor’s demos. None of the live recordings, remixes, unreleased, demos, or anything of the sort are truly mine. But that does not mean I didn’t put effort into getting them. So much of my library is ripped from YouTube way back in 2013 with a YouTube to MP3 converter, then dragging it into iTunes and editing the metadata track by track, then photoshopping and editing pictures so I can make album covers for them. Some of my audios are from Vimeo (does that even still exist?) and converted into MP3s. Some of my library is downloaded from Tumblr also over ten years ago from blogs that have since been deactivated. Some of my library comes from sketchy MediaFire files that I had to go through one of those weird shortened links that redirect you to the actual download page. I’ve used so many ad blockers and malware protection programs over the years to get so much into my library. And it’s not even easy to share either. Obviously it’s copyrighted, and although I have a personal Google Drive I keep a ton of backups in for half of the files on my computer, I don’t want that to get taken down if I share music through it, and it would. Even websites like Mega eventually (slowly) catches on and deletes your files and gives you a warning. A few of those and your account is gone.

I’m not trying to be rude, but I’m not rewarding awful behavior. I’ve done enough of that and have learned my lesson. I hope these kinds of people can learn, too. I truthfully think these kinds of people should spend a year or so doing it themselves: scouring the internet for carefully guarded files, having to go through the trial and error of this sort of hobby, having to go through the whole ‘malware or audio file’ game, possibly having people say they want to be friends with you just for them to leave once you send what you’ve collected. My point is that it’s not effortless. You do not google ‘Taylor Swift unreleased download’ and get everything I or other collectors have. And you do not get anything from said collectors by stalking their account to see if they’re active and telling them to ‘pick up the pace’ when they don’t send it in the time you allocated for them without their agreement. Just be respectful to those you want something from. Don’t use people. Be compassionate and considerate. Don’t be like… this.

I've said it before that taylor's many years of receiving (often unwarranted and ridiculous) criticism have seemingly skewed her ability to pick up on what is valid criticism and what's just ""haters"" and she pretty much proved that correct with but daddy I love him and I fear that is now her attitude towards all criticism (even without the excuse of being blinded by love or whatever). which is sort of why it would probably help to be surrounded by more people who can help make that judgement of valid criticism vs celebrity hate. but alas :/

Thinking about how Terry Jr probably helped raise the teens (apart from Scary) as toddlers, and how he was never allowed to see them age. I wonder if he had photos of them on his walls. Did he get sent new ones as they got older? Or were they stuck in time, still barely more than babies and free from the weight of the world

THIS IS SO FUNNY OH MY GOD.

• Kendrick dropping out of nowhere two tracks in one week that immediately made it to the TOP THREE of the Hot 100

• Kendrick propelling “Like That” via feature to #6 in the Hot 100

• “Not Like Us” being a club banger that’s being played all over the nation. Just unbelievably hilarious for Drake to brag about having fame and numbers over Kendrick—only for Kendrick, who notoriously hates fame and doesn't give a shit about commercial metrics, to wreck him in those very things. Absolutely brutal, I love it so much

• “Not Like Us” having a catchy sound and hook AND YET still being jaw-droppingly dense lyrically, and even imparting an important history lesson, proving that popular rap can have substance, but Drake is just incapable of writing it (or hiring ghostwriters to write it, as the case may be)

• I mean, just. The song being played all over the nation explicitly calling Drake out for being a pedophile and everyone singing along and further spreading this message LMAO

• Also what better humiliation and exposure is there than the fact that every time news outlets report on it, the only image they can use is the song cover art that overtly claims Drake and his entourage should be on the sex offender registry

• “Not Like Us” being the track with the Bay sound and us getting a shoutout in it!! Especially after that disgraceful AI Tupac mess

• “Not Like Us” breaking multiple of Drake’s all-time records (and Taylor Swift’s!!)

• Actually all of these Kendrick tracks beating Taylor Swift, who I will never forgive for the 2016 Grammys

• But also Drake invoking Taylor Swift and then Kendrick hiring a noted producer and co-writer of Taylor Swift's to work on “6:16” LOL

• No doubt that “6:16” would be on here if it were on streaming platforms. Hope that sample can get cleared so Kendrick can obliterate the charts even further

• “Meet the Grahams,” which is like the furthest thing from a catchy pop song and more like grim, menacing spoken word evisceration, making it all the way to #12

• Kendrick not doing any promotion, no social media posts, nothing, and still demolishing Drake, who was constantly posting, in streaming numbers

• Probably the best Drake track in this beef sitting at #17, cackling
