Rather than get bogged down in refuting Mr. I Haven’t Done a Lot of Reading’s misogynistic and projection-heavy personal attacks, one by one, Noname refocuses listeners’ attention on the Black Lives Matter protests, police brutality, the alarming levels of violence against Black trans women, and other matters that are far more urgent than one man feeling insecure about a woman being smarter than him.

“Little did I know all my reading would be a bother,” she says on “Song 33,” which, per Vulture, was produced by Madlib. “It’s trans women being murdered and this is all he can offer? / And this is all y’all receive? / Distracting from the convo with organizers / They talking abolishing the police / And this the new world order / We democratizing Amazon, we burn down borders.”
