Overview

The creator uses a split-screen format to play an old Remy Ma and Papoose music video where the rappers list famous celebrity couples. After letting the clip play, the creator pauses the video to offer his direct-to-camera commentary, noting that the lyrics 'didn't age well' because many of the couples mentioned have since broken up or faced public drama. He concludes by asking his audience if they remember the song and soliciting their opinions in the comments.
