dude is the most interesting man in the world, a hobo from N.O that rap like a 90s lyricist with this super abstract, in depth style of mysterious beats....this dude combination of spiritual knowledge, historic knowledge, lyricism, different flows, delivery, pop culture references, metaphors....movie clip samples....dude is so artistic, a true artist...not a hustla , hustling music, ...hes an artist..artist, he actually cares about his music....dude is passionate about his craft

dude actually blew up in a era where I guy like him shouldn't get any love shows how great he is, the meaning behind his songs are what get people to stay...because no way a dude that drop one song a year, doesn't promote himself, travel from remote location to remote location should have the anticipation he has....dude came outta no where

his content is mega valuable, its beyond just being dope skillswise....he say things that touch your soul

for example :


As the tears welled up in my eyes
My mama said "son what happened?"
Sometimes I can't breathe cause it's so much crap man
I called on god but he don't call back and
Fight to stay sane while the devils laughin
Last night I was across the tracks
With freddy and black teddy just playin a crap game
Smokin on stank
Sippin on drank
When brian came flyin up the block like batman

[pant pant] minnie got killed!
His wig got peeled in the callio
By some tenth ward nikkas that we barley know!

I said hold up, whoa whoa whoa whoa
You must be joking but he wasn't laughin
Freddy passed out in the the grass and that's when
His mother came outside and said "where's minnie?"
I looked down at the ground "I don't know where he's at maam"
Lump in my throat I just lost my best friend
Conneticuit minnie with the easy coast accent
Top it all of, my older cousin mookie got caught
With some yellow capped barrels of crack man
It's time for me to leave home ma that's that man
It ain't much left here to see for a black man
I'm a spread my wings pursue this rap thing
Kiss my baby sister tell her I'll be back
I'm on I-10 east bound to manhattan
Nyc yes sir that's rap land
A one way ticket, a trunk of clothes
I spent my last 25 cent on pac man
Mister bus drive set me free
Just take me to new york and let me be [late echo]

No Father To MY Style.. A Son Unique
I understand why people like this dude but when they say best mc ever i gotta laugh. They love his "story" morenthan his raps. Notice the quotations because that story is in the fiction section of the hip hop library.

If u took ten years of killah priests career and only picked the best 20 songs hed look like the goat too. Keep that in mind
