Who gives a fuck? We never do listen
Unless it comes with an 808
A melody and some hoes

from Kendrick Lamar – A.D.H.D Lyrics on Rap Genius

Messages are portrayed often, yet no one really gives it a second thought unless it’s in the form of a bass heavy song with good melodies, and the video for the song has scantily clad women.
An 808 refers to a Roland TR-808, which is a programmable drum machine.

A generation that lives with apathy won’t pay attention to news because its not entertaining. ADHD relates to short attention span and while the news will lose with that attention span, something with an 808, a melody, and some hoes, wont.
