Ngl Content Cop was how I discovered your music - not only was Otis McMusic the theme but iDubbbz would use bits of Mighty Fine as segment dividers too. It was a bit of a hassle to find your channel thanks to him never crediting you lol, but I'm glad I did

Thank you for searching. Ian was actually pretty cool about it after some people starting claiming that I was stealing his music. Hah! He added comments and new descriptions saying that I made the music.

I heard this on a KZfaqr's videos being used as intro/outro. I was not pleased when I discovered there was no credit in the video description for the origin of the beat. Fortunately I found it through Shazam.

Honestly such a fascinating video. This is a song that I don't really just associate with Content Cop, I associate it moreso with an entire vibe of a year, maybe even a portion of a whole decade. It's one of the most endearing vibes to come out of the 2010s, it just carries the whole spirit of the year 2016, and the better aspects of the years that came before and after. Explained in such a real way too, just really cool to see. Huge respect.
