TImmy Turner's audio alone has 50 mil views on youtube so Desiigner will be at least young thug level relevant for a while.

didn't ya'll say this about dudes with much better efforts though like 2chainz & other names im forgetting

yeah i was gonna say somethin about mos def but then he's been mos defing it up for like a decade and a half now
Talib talked about it a bit on the Drink Champs podcast.
Or read this:
The Department of Home Affairs spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete said while the 42-year-old rapper entered the country on a US visa, he has overstayed his visitors' permit, which expired in 2014.
Bey was arrested after trying to leave the country using an "unrecognised world passport”.

Their first two albums are excellent (high 8s), so nah.
Just listened to it for the first time after seeing your post. All I had heard from him before was his "I wish track".
Damn this album is pretty good! I actually like it a lot, going to listen to it some more though. Also, his track "This is How it sounds".... that beat, I've heard it before! Or the sample maybe. Maybe people have done some freestyles/mixtape tracks over it.. fake edit just did a google search. Thug Life used the same sample in "Bury me a G".
This is nice. Added it my spotify.

Given that el-P's previous shit didn't age poorly I'm not sure why RTJ would. First album was whatever but the second album was really really good.

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Dad rap, LOL.
How about Mom rap? My mom likes A Tribe Called Quest, Drake, The Roots, Guru, and a few others. She actually likes most rap but she's never been into the lyrical content of the more hardcore rappers, but she doesn't disparage it at all. She's progressive for her age.

Anyway, this is the first time listening to a Gil-Scott Heron album. I dig this.
I like your mom.
She single?
Only Rap album my parents probably know in and out is actually The Fugees' The Score that we recently talked about here. My brother brought it with him on our family vacation that one summer when I was a kid and we all listened to it every morning. Good times.
But my mom actually often says she likes it when she hears Rap I'm listening to (she doesn't understand English, though).
My mom haaaates rap, but loves drake lol
that's crazy, I had no idea. I just always assumed everyone thought his verse was dope like I did
I really need to listen to this
hahaha
I can definitely vouch for Ahmad's first album (he apparently had a second one I've never heard), shit puts me in the best mood when I hear it.
Ordinary People was definitely a highlight for me

Is it Drake's more singing tracks her favorite, though? Because there are different type of Drake songs, breh.
Nah, she isn't. She's also almost 60, anyway.
It's interesting that you mentioned language and the lack of barrier. Sometimes rap just sounds and feels good despite not knowing any lyrics or being able to understand them.
Yo, this Ahmad is smooth. It's similarly lighthearted as that Skee-Lo album.
Yeah it is. But they're getting money and gears 4 seems dope. So meh. Lame tho.
Naw. El-P and Killer Mike are dope people and they make dope music.

Corny is the last thing I expected RTJ to be described as, honestly. I don't think their lyrical content is all that exciting, but yeah.
Generic is more like it (even though neither of them slouch as rappers, obviously).

I would say because of, not despite. Sometimes I wish my English hadn't become as natural-sounding to me because it makes certain stuff suddenly sound cornier than back in the days when you didn't quite get everything. Funny thing is, with certain songs I'm 100% that if it was in German I would find it wack or cheesy. Though, I think it's still easier for me than for you guys to sometimes turn the switch off in my head and only hear, not consciously listen, to English Rap if I want to vibe, like when I bump Thugga. It's getting increasingly harder, though, as I pretty much listen/watch/read/write more in English than German on most days now (my actual speaking/pronunciation is still weak, with the occasional German accent shining through and tripping over words with too many successive "w" and "r"s - I wouldn't be able say something like "where worrying warranties were", lol).
We linguistics class now.

I actually think it's one of his stronger solo projects. I really like the album. He should just drop it for free. What a mess.
Samples it sounds like part of the reason. Wouldn't be surprised if the leak had anything to do too. Also there's a funny part bout him thinking he can vote during the interview lol
