    tried those tracks @Changeling

    ngl, skipped over Daylight pretty quickly, liked None Shall Pass alright, listened to most of it. on Zero Dark Thirty and I think it's ok, don't like it as much as None Shall Pass tho

    from my listens so far he just embodies like what i imagine "consciious raP" to be (not saying that to be a prick, idk what's considered conscious rap but i don't think it's something i really listen to). i def see the ungrgroudn vibe

    Yeah I like that but this being one of his most easy to understand songs aint great like the reason I keep bringing up lupe is because he'll have some non complex to understand s--- like
    upload_2017-11-5_1-50-6.png

    but in that he'll hide s--- that only people who know the references will you get you feel me
    upload_2017-11-5_1-50-29.png

    but with rock its like all complicated you can't understand it. I don't know thats really the best way I can explain it

    i never heard his new one (drogas right?)
