Little Haters and Finessing the Fuck You

Dropped these two Jay Smooth videos--which I revisit over and over and over--to my friend, Notblueatall, who's in a writing funk...and it made me realize two things:

ONE. I really needed to listen to this again, cuz damn does it ever apply to me. It's a process, y'all.

TWO. Jay Smooth finesses the hell out of the fuck you in these two videos.

The spiral that he talks about is what I would call a 'fuck me' spiral, where our behavior just isn't working for us, where we set traps for ourselves...and we need to acknowledge that in order to pull out. Little hater, the fuck me, it's all the same.

If you've found yourself falling into your own traps lately, watch:

Beating the Little Hater


And then follow it up with Jay, doing like we do, finessing the fuck you, singing:

Ballad of the Little Hater

But I'ma get where I need to be
Cuz I know someone out there believes in me
And I swear, I swear
My little hater won't win today

Fuck you, little hater, fuck you.
