...fucked a bitch about six times.” What a sweetheart. The struggle with his past seems to be an ongoing one. All but the last three tracks flaunt Beanie’s traditional themes: drinking, drugging, and killing. The first of the closing trio, “Rain (Bridge)” is the best song on the album, with Beanie trying to encourage a friend suffering hardships in prison. “Dear Self” goes on to paint a very different picture of the apparently religious artist: it sees Beanie confronting himself about his misdeeds...

Yet even in my grandparents’ flat in the upscale suburb of Bandra—home to Bollywood’s glamorous film stars—low water pressure in the public pipeline meant that the plumbing system worked only two or three hours a day, often in the middle of the night. My grandparents have made do for years by adapting their cooking habits and keeping a bucket of water handy...
