its almost like he doesnt half way pronounce his verses and it makes it sound like one long word. I know he trying to be unique but you can hardly understand what he saying aside from most of his verses obviously having that spoken word influence

To me it's that's his biggest flaw as a rapper...his delivery/clarity is off, it makes it harder to appreciate what he's saying lyrically (where he's prolly really underrated)

I think what it is is he tries to modulate the inflections of his voice to enthuse variety and energy into his flow. Some rappers, not saying it's whack or anything, sound pretty much the same on every track in terms of the actual way they sound and it can be a little repetitive. I think that he's trying to avoid that, which is cool in theory, but it causes him on occasion to sound kinda inaudible when he gets to a trough in his shifting pattern. It's really the only issue I have with his on wax work right about now.

Thats his only weakness. If he improves on his enunciation being off at times, he's the perfect emcee. Doesn't bother me that much because it's rarely to the point where I can't get what he's saying though. He's normally on point.
