Okay...I've been a fan of his since Hawaiian Snow...but I don't even know what the hell happened to this dude....

He went from this heat!






to this



It's like he became a parody of himself...
I haven't listened to OLD since it came out.

No hate...I blame MDMA.

'Old' is actually pretty fantastic once you allow the turn up stuff to function as what it is. The straight rap stuff on it is as good as any new shyt out.

Yeah...I haven't listened to it in a while. The turn up side/side 2 is actually really amazing as far as progressive styled hip-hop goes. Especially with the edm grime type productions.

You have to be on to fall off.
I think he lost his some of buzz though, I think he'll be alright if he stays consistent.
Yeah you're right...he's bigger than he's ever been now...he's probably better off doing this EDM turn up trap stuff then he was actually doing "real hip-hop".
No one cares about real hip-hop in 2014 on a wide scale. It seems people love him on tumblr too.

There's one song on the first side, a somber beautiful soulful joint that i played like 100 times in a row...

"Hipster by heart but I can show Ya how the street feel, everybody hungry and they thirsty for a refill"


He's still a top 5 new schooler to me

Hawaiian Snow and The Hybrid. Everything else trash.

I think people care about hip-hop. Music across all genres is lacking something. I want the new school kids to succeed but a lot music has nothing behind it. Even when it good it's kinda lacking in power and longevity. I don't know if it's the production style or what but it's missing something.

I like the Hybrid the best, but his last album was good and it was critically acclaimed.

He lost some buzz though for sure
