Puzzled by soundtracks of 2 unofficial drumpf 'ads' it retweets (after dan scovino posts)

Ok scavino. Whatever.

So... Drumpf retweets these, so I guess he likes em. Both are creepy, of course. Scary even. But the soundtracks are head scratchers.

First one features Gangsta’s Paradise (where to me, mr mafia-ties drumpf is clearly the gangsta), and the second one (which super excites the QAnon people) is by someone called Tommee Profitt with these lyrics:

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
You didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, they didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time when I tried so hard


I can’t see how either of these are flattering to the big orange whatever he is, but maybe I’m missing something.

Ok. It just mostly shows drumpf with really creepy closeups where he looks deranged with red-rimmed soothsayer Jul 2020 #2

Second is LINKIN Park lyrics. Doesn't make sense for him to use. onecaliberal Jul 2020 #3
Ah, but it's a different version (though maybe it sounds identical, I don't know) soothsayer Jul 2020 #4
Idk both are bizarre for the context. onecaliberal Jul 2020 #5
You're right, though! They're covering it, this tommee guy and friends soothsayer Jul 2020 #6

I have been told the background is stolen from a Rick James tune, which is probably much of why I do enjoy it.

I expect the intended 'message' is that Mr. Biden will turn the country into a 'gangsta's paradise', where poor suburban and rural white folk must cower in terror of what might befall them, and their daughters and wives....

...eyes.

But you’re probably right. It just comes off as opposite, ha.

I will check into that. I expect I was misinformed. Whoever did it, it sounds very nice.
