Forgot About Consent
A parody of Forgot about Dre by Dr. Dre
Because deliverability and infrastructure aren't the real issues for cold mailers—they’re just symptoms. The real problem is a lack of consent.

Verse 1
Y'all know me, still the same OG
Tracking ISPs
Hated on by most cold mailers
With no DMARC, no trust, burned IPs
With no DKIM keys
No clicks, no real replies, just bot sprees
Mad at me 'cause I can finally afford to give my clients inbox guarantees
Tellin' you to stop clonin' domains and relyin' on hacks
With misleading subject line traps
Burnin' through lookalike domains with warm-up tools, phonies
Did y'all think I'ma let the rules ease? Bro, please
You better beg your E.S.Ps
Who you think taught you to warm them IPs?
Who told you to drop them scraped leads?
Spamhaus, Proofpoint, and the strict I.S.Ps
The core con-sent policies
While your group says, "Motherfuck the spam police"
Gave you the right best practices
To follow and set up like you should
And when your inbox rate wasn't doin' too good
Who's the Pro that they told you to go see?
Y'all better listen up closely
All you gurus claim cold mail died or your subjects flopped
De-liv-er-y is the consequence of a scraped list
Be-cause you skipped con-sent, see?
That's a bad prac-tice, trust me
Y'all gon' keep blast-in' a-round with no con-sent and hit the spam fold-er, G
Chorus x2
Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they click on send
Just a bunch of cold mailers
And motherfuckers act like they forgot 'bout consent
Verse 2
So what do you say to a spammer you hate? (What?)
Or anyone blastin' a million a day?
Wanna reject them in a in a way more ruthless way? (Yup)
Just study the logs of the MTA
One day I was parsin' by
With my filters on, when I caught a guy
Pushin' volume on the sly ('Chu scalin' at?)
And blocked up all his lookalike domains with a hard deny
I don't give a fuck 'bout domains you bought
Settin' up your cheap little camouflage
'Cause you're out of luck
I'll tie every single one back to the same mirage
Routin' all your sequences to spam, try-na walk it off
Fuck your metrics, watch the drops
I'ma block you and them loud-ass motherfuckin' follow-ups
And when the bounce codes flew
I stood right next to your blacklisted route
With a list full of traps and a handful of catch-alls
And your reach tapped out (Right here)
From here on out it's the strict blocklist view
Startin' today all your warm-ups are through
And I'm still ruthless enough to choke your campaign in your mailer queue
Chicka-chicka-chicka Spam Gateway, stricter than a ze-ro-trust safety
Blockin' cold mailers with the volumes up
When your bounce rate jumps to the mid-20s
Callin' spam "outreach", sorry, Man, but they been lazy
There's no way that you can save these
It's okay, go to junk, babie (Data?)
Chorus x2
Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they click on send
Just a bunch of cold mailers
And motherfuckers act like they forgot 'bout consent
Verse 3
If it was up to me, you cold mailers would stop
Postin' on the Feed with your chest out
Actin' like you mastered delivery
When the rules were there, you wasn't hearin' me
But now that Gmail has a policy
Everybody acts like spamming is some brand new disease
But you won't get a hack from me
'Cause I'm from the days of con-sent (con-sent)
I told 'em all
All 'em LinkedIn gurus, who you think helped warn 'em all?
Now you wanna run around talkin' 'bout 'turf' like you're the ones
What, you think you found the keys 'cause you learned a rule?
Now you're writin' LinkedIn posts like you found a new path
What, 'cause you claimin' that you mastered what I always had?
Tryna claim that you are experts? I am havin' a laugh
This is the millennium of Gmail math
It ain't gon' be spamming after that
So take your LinkedIn "expert" title, fuck hacks, you can have 'em back
So where's all the Growth Hackers at?
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you LinkedIn cats know that I was strapped with stats
While you were cuddlin' a Cabbage Patch
Chorus x3
Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they click on send
Just a bunch of cold mailers
