*ChildhoodFriendRomance: Janine and Tariq have been dating since the 8th grade. Continuously. With no breaks. Or dating anyone else. It's mentioned that this may not be very healthy, as discussed below in HighSchoolSweethearts. But it's also shown that Tariq is genuinely a sweet guy, and we see him make a genuine and not-too-cringy display of love for Janine in the middle of his performance. Considering how distant her parents are, he's someone who's definitely been there for her from a young age.
*CringeComedy: Played with with Tariq's performance for the kids. Everything we've seen so far suggests he's a cringe-worthy lyricist and general embarrassment. And indeed, his lyrics aren't very good and he always undercuts his presence by hyping himself too much. But when he actually performs, his beats are decent, his stage presence is confident, and he keeps going long enough that the kids and even teachers can't help but get into it. He may not be a great musician, but he's an okay performer.
*DamnedByFaintPraise: Called upon to praise Tariq in front of the Abbott staff, even people-pleaser Jacob can only muster up, "He's a real extemporaneous thinker." And "he's spirited."

**Tariq himself seems to believe this and incorporates it into his music, which goes against the general trends of mainstream rap culture.
--->'''Tariq:''' No one's in that anti-drug, anti-alcohol lane. You never hear a song about broccoli. Except that song called Broccoli. But that was ''also'' about drugs.
