You’re writing for an animated film project inspired by the music of Juice Wrld that seems a lot more experimental than your typical biopic. She was like “WTF” when I sent it to her, and that was one of those little things along the way, where I thought, “Maybe if I really focus, put a lot into it, it can get to the point where it can stand on its own.”
#Id dont want to grow up song how to#
I’m not gonna ask Kehlani to get on a song, but I did ask her how to make it better. I used to love singing as a kid - I had this amazing music teacher in school who got fired for doing too many gospel songs at a white high school, so I swore off singing for a long time. I sent her the song asking if she had recommendations for vocal coaches. You’re an uncle to R&B singer Kehlani’s son with your brother Javaughn. But you can’t put a price on personal freedom. People in positions of power who move the money won’t think queerness is a proven cash cow in enough mediums. As much as people can be down to watch queer stuff, there’s always going to be a disconnect. But the unfortunate part is that when you’re marketing to a mass audience, it’s really difficult to get the money people to believe it’s a viable business strategy.
I love stuff that can live in that space. Over the pandemic, I spent so much time in my point of view, not being in contact with other people, that I kind of forgot the concept of being gay for a week. Do you think there’s a changing of the guard for the sensibility people want in queer art today? “BBC” is hilariously graphic about gay sex. This song came out around the same time that “Bros” bombed in theaters, while Steve Lacy has the No. The Compton singer-guitarist topped the charts with ‘Bad Habit.’ Now he’s a Grammy contender, on his own terms: ‘I didn’t have to change to do it.’ 1 hit, Steve Lacy redefines the rock star for Gen Z He could express a real wit on his records, and I wanted to be able to honor that sensibility. Wayne would say this laugh-out-loud funny stuff, but he wasn’t undercutting the music. You do have that line about him in the song: “You m- out of bars like Wayne when he dropped ‘No Ceilings.’” My favorite early comedian was mixtape-era Lil Wayne.
I’ve been doing comedy for 10 years, and I had someone describe this song as a pivot - I don’t it see it as that. I wanted “BBC” to be catchy on a visceral level, but I’ll always be playful, it’s how my brain works. And they had a sense of humor that I was immediately drawn to. DJ Clent, DJ Rashad, those late ‘90s-2000s records that sound like they were recorded in a shoebox but go so hard. Some of my favorite songs of all time to this day are still like “ Bounce N Break Yo Back,” tracks that were filthy, like almost anatomical in their descriptions. Were you a fan of labels like Dance Mania growing up? You can definitely hear the influence of something like “ Hit It From the Back” on this track, where the punchlines are hilariously raw about sex. But it was always something I was in love with. I tinkered around, and when I moved to New York in 2016, I said I was gonna make comedy, and make music - and of course two weeks in, I ran out of money. In college, I took a film score class that gave me the basics of sound design. I wanted to learn an instrument, but that never worked out, so I developed a sense of humor. My dad was a DJ and I was around a lot of dance music growing up in Chicago: house, juke, footwork, a lot of the electronic music that’s starting to see a renaissance. What’s your background in writing music and producing? When Aukerman decided to put aside the barking delivery of his hardcore days, the old punks became the caffeinated power-poppers they'd always wanted to be.“BBC” genuinely slaps as a club track.

“Silly Girl,” “In Love This Way," and “Good Good Things” are such sweet, tuneful songs that they could almost be a SoCal punk update of the Merseybeat melodies of Gerry & The Pacemakers. While the first side features hilarious novelty songs like “Pervert” (about teenage libidos), “GCF” (or “Good Clean Fun,” an anti-drug rant), and “No F.B.” (or “No Fat Beaver,” as goofy as it sounds), the second side has a sequence of songs that personify post-adolescent love in all its poignantly awkward sincerity. Even though the band members were in their mid-20s, their second album confirmed their timeless ability to tap into the adolescent psyche. After Milo Aukerman graduated from college and drummer Bill Stevenson quit his gig as Black Flag's drummer, Descendents reconvened for 1985’s I Don’t Want to Grow Up. Following 1982's classic Milo Goes to College, the original Descendents lineup dissolved, never to reunite-or so it appeared.
