@@evythefish21You’re right, he was producing for big names out the gate. He started venturing into producing for more underground artists over time. Kind of the opposite trajectory that this comment described, but I agree that there was a lot we couldn’t have seen coming. It seemed like he’d reached a certain peak in like ‘04, and I wouldn’t have guessed that some of his best music was still coming like 10-20 years later

Anthony Bourdain is smiling down on you, you tireless genius. The way you relate the greatness of the art reminds me of my first hip hop show... Common Sense as he was called at the time in a small Northern New England club where an entire live band supported him, after The X-ecutioners then Rahzel got the crowd pretty warmed up. When he spit Hunger it was like time stopped or something. Which is why we can forever suffer no whack MC's. Amen.
