Not just hard to impress…they don’t even do their homework. Even ten years ago this forum was full of people who said Wayne was overrated yet had never heard a single mixtape from him. They heard Carter III, singles and that’s it. A decade later they’re even more entrenched, listening to the same shyt over and over or only liking regressive/derivative new music.
So most people dismissing Alchemist haven’t been listening over the last decade plus. They didn’t hear Covert Coup, Russian Roulette, etc.
I’ve got this theory I call the big brother theory. Basically there’s a large group of people whose first real pipeline for music came from their brother. In my case, my older cousin would play Nas/Pac/Biggie/etc while we played Sega Genesis in his room. From childhood through HS, that music kinda dominated their taste, and their older sibling would keep feeding them shyt. That’s how I ended up getting in Nore later for instance.
Now I think we have a generation of people who are older and no longer have someone feeding them new shyt so they just regress into only listening to stuff from the past. In the Coli’s case the Kendrick/Cole/Drake 2010-2012 wave was the last “new” music they fukked with.
beginning of beat on Thowys Revenge reminded me of Thundercat Interstellar
