    IK Paul manages him (he manages Eminem too) and Ive heard a few things of him and I like him from what ive heard.. Any Action fans here? If so, what albums/projects should I check out?

    Blue chips 2 was the project that really got me into his work followed by Rare Chandeliers. After those releases I worked my way backwards into the rest of his discography. I love the character that he portrays and the absurdity of it, makes for a very entertaining individual. h---, even my girlfriend loves him

    Mr. Wonderful was a slight disappointment but Action Bronson remains on my shortlist of favorite rappers. He has one of the most interesting & entertaining personas in Hip Hop.

    He is the most likable and least corniest white rapper to ever exist.

    Basically what @JFK said

    Bronson is one of the most interesting new york rappers atm and him and current Mac are probably the most interesting and respectable white kids to ever do rap

    He's a very solid rapper that I can't really listen to a full album of.

    He's not using some wacky gimmick character (cough cough slim shady) he's just very funny and weird with his delivery and s---, he's probably the most entertaining rapper out right now, right next to young thug

    I've tried Rare Chandliers and he usually has very good singles, but he's a guy I enjoy in small doses rather than an album.

    Probably the best "bigger" act up here in NY. Very entertaining and outlandish personality which is further expanded in his music. He has a lot of good material too. The Blue Chips series; 2 being his magnum opus, Rare Chandeliers, Well Done, Dr. Lecter, Saab Stories and Mr. Wonderful are all accessible pieces of work.

    Technically, he's from Kew Garden Hills but I guess Flushing sounds better and definitely has more relevance in Hip Hop. As far as his music is concerned, I prefer his older material from 2010-2012 (it was either me or DoCe who first mentioned him on RB or SL). I think he's gotten a bit lazy in the past couple of years. When I first heard "Imported Goods", hearing that classic sample, the 90's NYC type of flow and the fact that he shot the video in Flushing, in my hometown, where I went to school, etc. I became a fan. But I always believed that he needed to diversify his concepts, which he hasn't really done. He pretty much raps about the same s--- but with less hunger (no pun intended). If you listen to those early projects, that was a dude who was going all out. Now, he's got a good, young frat boy fanbase, he can tour the world, a possible TV deal for his cooking show, he's just relaxing, I guess.
