Told y'all years ago on here that the older he gets, the more he would separate himself from all the other rappers

He always had the best talent
I remember on one of the very first interviews he did (Rap Pages cover) he said he wanted to be on the porch rapping and spitting poems when he got old

Found the interview: Rap Pages cover story

“The truth is, a similar thing had happened to me
I listen to Wayne, I listen to G, I listen to Dre, I listen to me”

Nas is a fan of the 🐐

Yes. Ransom is a great lyricist, but so far he hasn't had the midas touch on production and he doesn't have the same charisma that Nas does, or even frankly a lot of his peers on the indie scene. There's intangibles to the shyt. For example a cat like Boldy James has a monotone voice, but still a lot more charm and charisma than Ransom has. Ran is definitely one of my favorite writers in the game, but when I hear him rap a lot of times it sounds like he's reading the bars off the page and into the microphone. When I hear Nas rap I feel like I don't hear that "I'm rapping my lines now" kind of energy. It just sounds like dude's speaking his life into the mic.
This nikka Joe 😂
