I tried to approach project with fresh ears, I can hear influence from 3k, Em, Cole and Dot. Didn't finish album yet, but dope so far. Salute for actually rapping

This kinda my gripe with him. Every record it’s like he’s doing a 3K, Em, Kendrick or Cole rendition. Sometimes he’ll switch flows and add 2-3 of them into the mix but it’s like he’s mimicking them. I actually don’t mind when a rapper takes another rapper flow in a homage type of way but I don’t know what JID the rapper really sound like. I guess I prefer my rappers with their own clear distinct sound/flow.

I'd never heard dude before this and it's surprisingly dope. If we're grading him on a scale top tier just off the fact he's rapping competently.

Edit: am I tripping or was that a light shot at Mase?

Damn Malice blacked out on this.


Section 8 living we treat it like a timeshare :wow:

Is one of the best bars I’ve heard all year! Him and Banks really have been putting on a rapping clinic this year.

Yes this! I couldn’t think of it but this is exactly it.

This is phenomenal. Why is the Coli going so hard.
JID is starting to get into that current top 5 now. Would even argue this is better than anything J Cole has dropped..

Its 5 bags of popcorn for me.
5 mics.

PS. I played Sk8 last night at a bar. People absolutelly LOVED It.

Definitely better than anything Cole's ever dropped.
