From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It must be hard to keep coming up with song titles when you put out songs as often as Young Thug.
On the mixtape he dropped today, No My Name is JEFFERY, he decided to just name the tracks after his idols instead.
These include fellow rappers Kanye West and Swizz Beatz, boxer Floyd Mayweather, singer Rihanna…and deceased gorilla Harambe.
The headline-grabbing Western lowland gorilla, who was shot when a three-year-old boy climbed into his enclosure at a Cincinnati zoo, doesn’t seem to be directly mentioned in the track.
Here’s a snippet of the chorus lyrics as per Genius:
‘I just wanna have sex / I just wanna have a baby by you, girl / I just wanna go crazy about you, girl / Gon' make your nigga act crazy over you, girl / Ayy, cause you know I will / And I'm on a perky pill’
No My Name is JEFFERY is roughly Young Thug’s 17th mixtape (it’s hard to keep count), and features collabs with Quavo and Wyclef Jean.
