Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Page #4

---

Pitchfork can be kind of

pretentious, though, sou.

(EXCLAIMS) What?

You ain't gonna knock my hustle.

Let's look at another one. Let's

pull it up. Rolling Stone-

Okay, um... Out of

four possible stars,

Rolling Stone has

given it the sh*t emoji.

I can only assume

it's a mess-up, you know.

They must have had

a problem with their, um...

No, this seems like the right score

for how they're saying this.

You know what?

Let just do a search.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

"CONNquest review."

Oh, here we go.

Here we go.

"CONNquest a triumph."

That's a good one. Let me read it.

This is on The Onion-

So, you know, mixed.

Let's call it mixed reviews.

BIG BOY:
So first you're in a group-

You introduce us to the Style Boyz,

and Donkey Roll, of course, we play

the hell out of that. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah. That's a hit for us, man.

And then, Conner, you get

that breakout moment.

You get a phone call

from Claudia Cantrell.

The one and only.

And she asks you

for a verse, man,

on her song Turn Up the Beef.

(SINGING)

Turn up the Beef

Throw your body on the flame

But you take that moment,

and instead of just,

like, kicking

a regular verse... You

know what I'm saying?

You did something

a little different.

The "catchphrase" verse,

as it's now known. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah, yeah.

Hello.

I had been working on a catchphrase...

Mmm-hmm.

But what had happened was I

just thought of so many dope ones

that I was like, "What if I

put them all into the verse?"

(SINGING) Turn up the beef

CONNER:
It's Conner, b*tch

(IN SING-SONG VOICE)

Yeah, he said so many words

I didn't know.

That was

a game-changing moment.

Usually one

catchphrase in a hit.

He dropped, like,

30 on us in one night.

Sh*t was crazy.

(IN SING-SONG VOICE)

Conner4Real

Immediately, I said, "Man, this guy

right here, he's gonna make it big!"

Because when you have

a catchphrase,

the world is catched

by your phrase.

BIG BOY:
You fast forward.

Things start to happen, man.

You get the Pop Music

Award, and now,

here come those

offers of a solo contract.

CONNER:
Yeah. How'd the other

Style Boyz feel about that?

You know, they took it fine.

Mmm-hmm.

Owen is my DJ and my best friend.

That's good, man.

And Lawrence lives

on a farm now, so...

Hold on. Lawrence

Dunn is a farmer?

My name is Lawrence Dunn.

I used to be in the Style Boyz.

Now I'm a farmer.

Being out here in nature,

away from all the people and

the trappings of modern life,

it's so peaceful. There

nothing like it. Ohm!

I've never been happier.

(EAGLE SCREECHES)

Uh... So, yeah, this is,

uh, all my woodwork.

It's kind of my passion,

uh, my hobby.

This is a nice piece.

It's called
