There is only one way that you could have more thoroughly destroyed the OG credibility you built up here the last couple of weeks than by admitting you look to David Byrne as an arbiter of musical merit, and that is by admitting that you eat brunch. Seriously, look through the lyrics of of every street-hardened rap song of the last 30 years. The word "brunch" does not appear.
ETA: Of course I'm completely wrong about that. In fact, someone actually compiled a list of the best rap songs that mention brunch:

I stand by what I said about Byrne, though.
