You're a fan of fake thugs who vocally resemble Imani from the Pharcyde? That floats your boat?

the first 20 minutes of this interview got more insight on the reality of things than 98% of the interviews by any "conscious" rapper and there won't be a thread on it
STAPLES: You gotta think about it like this. This is just my question. And I understand that race plays a part in everything. I understand that money plays a part in everything. I understand that situations and family play a part in everything. But when someone dies, and you're looking in the face of a white person and saying, "They just killed a black man," and you expect them to relate to that, that's a problem. Cause they don't know what it's like to be a black man. They never will. They can't. They can pretend they do. "Oh, that's wrong." You don't know what that feels like.
You remove, "Oh, they just killed a person. They just killed a father. They just killed —" That's in the back burner. We want — we tend to separate ourselves in search for equality, and it's past race. We want to separate ourselves, but be held in the same regard as the people we're trying to disconnect ourselves from.
Vince has gotten worse as his buzz has gotten bigger.
This is one thing I will agree with this album is aight but I expected a little moreVince has gotten worse as his buzz has gotten bigger.
Again, what is your basis for this "fake thug" stance?
Seriously love the vibe of this album and I love the female features he used.
Dopeman is so fukking fire
Don't sleep on Coldest nikka Breathing eitherThis album was only alright...
BUT
Lift Me Up almost single handily surpasses kendrick faux black power album...don't even remember what it was called...
Got some friends coming over for the 4th of july weekend and one of my friends is bringing his super c00n friend...
When we hit up Razoo's tomorrow I am putting it on repeat and checking for his reaction...
He start squirming or melting or some shyt then this song goes on the c00n checklist...
"I'm just a nikka...until I fill my pockets..and then I'm Mr nikka...they follow me while shopping"
"Waiter still aint bought the chopsticks...I should have brought the choppa...the driver in the cock pit look like jeffery dahmer...but they looking at me crazy when we pull up to the projects
Still don't know if I fully get the Moses Shakah Zulu line...seems like there is a double entendre in there that i am missing
Cosign. The album is alright. What happened to this Vince?
Look at him. Listen to him. He's a fraud. He hung out with fukkin oftwga.
This dude is the gangsta marketing scheme of Kendrick.

He realized to draw a bigger audience he had to ditch the monotone flow and add more energy. Subject matter wise and skill wise more or less the same
