You expect it to be all good because you loosely base you pre-opinion on a song with a similar title and rocking god drinking game and then it turns out to suck. Think James Patterson if patterson was a 2nd grader

a fun bit of pulp fiction...easy to get into and a nice slice of southern (both LAs) culture.
