I am more torn than I have ever been about this song. It's kinda like bell bottoms starting to come back in the 90s. At a certain point they were ridiculous then they were cool. This seems like it's so throwback that it doesn't belong in this decade, but it's interesting and I was rooting for it after half a minute...
Overall I will say extremely decent
he wins you over during the duration of the song.
plus it is like a black edan.
edan got props for doing mainsource/bdk style stuff.
why not somebody else who shows they can flex skills.
also redman made a bit of comeuppance by going old school way of thought in his draw with erick sermon.
so why not showcase you can at least do it.
if he can spit modern stuff as well as this.
i would give him an all around thumbs up.
as real talk,...most rappers can not write rhymes or execute them this well.
on this landscape, at all.
which personally is a proving ground to being an emcee.
plus shows his attention and dedication to the skillset of emcee'n and i can honor that.
now he just needs to effectively do modern stuff with more advanced technical skills and he is good!
