He's better than J cole, big Sean and drake lyrically. He has bars and metaphors way better than theirs. He doesn't have any weak albums or mixtapes besides AD. He has the best sports references of the new class. His shyt is fly and he keeps to his roots on every project with a gogo themed track. He makes tracks for everybody and doesn't pretend to be someone else on the mic. He rules his lane does it well
Most people who hate on him either aren't listening or don't listen to him
He's better than Sean
lyrically, probably on par with Drake punchline wise and lyrically as well in terms of dexterity.
I've been following dude since his mixtape days but I just respect his whole take on things. He's what Big Sean probably wants to be and he's really talented at flipping word.
Dude is probably the most equipped new-age SPITTER for the non-hood/gutter image. He's legit.
Lets say, he's Drake without the singing...and not as functionally gifted as Drake but gifted in his own right.
I just wish he'd stop cramming syllables into his verses.
