WE ARE YOUR FEK (That’s Odd Future, Pusha T, and Childish Gambino who have all rhymed about Tumblr. Were we to try to extrapolate “meaning” from this for Tumblr, we’d say that it clues the world into the fact that ostensibly, Tumblr’s beginning to reach a culture saturation point, one marked with references made by or utilization by either up-and-coming or already established rap acts, and it’s only going upward from here! In reality, it “means” nothing other than rappers need something that rhymes with, like, “humblr” or whatever, and they just so happen to be using it, like a bunch of other people. But it’s sure fun to think about! Or we could just tell you that Tumblr is quickly becoming The Culturally Prominent Misogynist’s Social Network of Choice. But: nah, son. TechCrunch, have at it.)
