Hipsters kill me with this shyt about his music falling off. What they really hate is the fact that he's popular (and that they don't get acknowledged for "finding him"). I don't know, but I enjoy music for what it is, that is the actual music and artistry. Not to be some kind of "middle man" between artist and listener.

Same cats act like everything he did before 2013 was great. Some of his songs then were boring to me, while others were dope. But to say overall he was better back then, nah.

There's a reason why he's getting a ton of fame right now, dude has had some great releases and features the last year.


I'm guilty of this shyt sometimes (not with Abel but other artists) and I hate myself for it when I catch myself acting like that :snoop:

It's all good breh. We're all human :thumbsup:
People always say that older shyt is better because it often is. And in the case of his artisty HOB/THURS/EOS is the best he's done.

The reason nothing is better once it reaches the masses is because the masses are stupid. And the music is often dumbed down because the artist starts to conform to what they think the masses will enjoy.

It's true for ALMOST every artist and true for him. That has nothing to do with garbAge ass hipster culture and everything to do with artistry.

The way I see it man, if it hits the mass audience, it means it's music that gets down to the essence/soul/heart and past the "critical" element of the brain. It connects on a wide level, which is what the human existence is about. No reason to overcomplicate everything.

shyt is why the drums made music that much more interesting vs classical music I believe.

Dude is extremely overhyped. I like his features, Remember You with Wiz and In Vein with Rozay are cool but I don't fukk with him like that.
I feel like his shyt is repetitive and sounds the same sonically. :manny:
