@@ShayLikeButter hall be so stuck in the past bro lol. We not talkin bout overall discography. But it’s easy to see someone like Luka Doncic is better than 90% of the players that came before him. With JID, almost no other rapper has his combination of flow control and lyricism. We haven’t seen it often

[@bvec97]

I fw JID, listen on the regular. He’s a great lyricist. Listening to his perspective hurts a little bc if there wasn’t a culture in this society around people hussling, grinding and only focusing on one part of the human experience this would be a totally different conversation, that he would probably be having on the main show. Idk, it’s layers to it but I don’t like the way this hit the ear. Talmbout gone focus on music bc Issa future in this then u can be a good husband NO bruh that’s not how it works u gotta learn how to balance em now, that’s that hussle culture bs they be makin people waste they life for
