The tiny desk version was
i felt the pain in that jawn
I'm not going to sit here and front like i was a mac fan but I took time to sit with some of his music since his passing and im legit mad i aint give him a fair shot sooner. He doesn't come off as forced and he is natural, substance and message are on point. Above average bars. All around he is well-rounded true emcee with a great ear and really good production.
I got to quickly see his evolution through his catalog and read youtube and IG comments from fans he was really the soundtrack to a generation....like legit was that dude.....
Also his character and credbility can never be questioned he was in the stu cooking with the likes of wu tang and top tier emcees and was with asap yams before that wave popped. He was a white boy i can say truly respected the culture and had no vulture tendencies he gave way more to the culture than he took from it.
Rest in Peace to my fellow PA representer
