    Ok well enough of this. If I had to make a recommendation, I would say check out Travis Scott to see if you can f--- with him, listen to Mos Def's late 90's albums, listen to Kanye's discography in order, give Cyhi a listen... AND...
    Keep your ears away from Big Sean

    Me 2 for sure. I think he recently changed his name and got banned from the United States so I haven't heard from him in a while. Kind of sad, because he was the full package, he could spit bars, could sing, had some nice beats, and he had a message.

    Hope he's happy doing whatever he's doing.

    He's Yasiin Bey, and he's doing what it seems like every GOOD artist does and taking forever to drop his first project for GOOD and losing relevance. Didn't know he was banned from the US tho, hope that's just a rumor

    Going by critics, he is seen as being amongst the top tier of MCs of all time? I don't hear him mentioned a lot unless it's by someone who listens to a lot of hip hop.

    Yeah I've only met one person who knows Mos Def by name. Then a few people who know him after they hear me play him.

    In general, no. On this one topic, yes. And not just because I like Travis, but because, in my eyes, that's an extremely silly criticism, that basically all of this person's music is the essence of biting and unoriginality. I wouldn't expect that criticism to be levied at the guy who made Owl Pharaoh and co produced nearly every song on Yeezus. But that's a silly opinion that I unfortunately see a lot, so that leads me to believe it's just one of those things that people hear and go with it and it clouds their judgement.

    lmao none of this plays a part in how good the music is in the end

    If I'm interpreting his post right, people don't like that you're not J. Cole.
