Saweetie – "Tap In" (2020)

B*tch, I’m from the West Coast

They wanna go down south

2 or 3 lines rarely recommends movies or television shows.  But today I’m going to make an exception and tell you that you MUST watch “Joan Is Awful” – which is episode one of season six of Black Mirror, a Netflix show.

The first few minutes of “Joan Is Awful” depict a typical day in the life of the title character – an attractive young millennial who works at a high-paying job at a high-tech company.  

One night, while she and her fiancé are looking for a streaming show, they stumbles across something called “Joan Is Awful.”

Joan is horrified to realize that “Joan Is Awful” is essentially a detailed recounting of her day that reveals all her most embarrassing secrets to le tout monde.  

The rest of the show is about her desperate efforts to force the streaming service to stop airing “Joan Is Awful.”  Along the way, she enlists the help of Salma Hayek, who portrays the Joan character in “Joan Is Awful,” and who has her own reasons from wanting to kill the show.

Annie Murphy as “Joan”

It’s a very entertaining show, with a very satisfying ending.  

Also, it makes you think – but it doesn’t make you think too much.

A few minutes into “Joan Is Awful,” Joan is shown singing along to today’s featured song as she is driving to work.

I know a lot more about rap than you might think, but I have to admit that I had never heard of Saweetie or “Tap In,” which was released in 2020. 

The record is a winner, boys and girls, but to say that it’s “NSFW” is something of an understatement.
