Easily one of Because The Internet‘s strongest tracks gets the full Malkovich treatment here. Gambino strolls through a diner spitting some of his best and most intriguing verses–he really does “do him” better than most do themselves here, owning the status of “rich kid asshole.” Despite his best efforts to leave, he keeps getting “Pursuit of Happiness“-ed back to the diner’s entrance, and runs into increasingly striking mirror images of himself. Seems like all that self-reflection is catching up.
