I agree. I’m embarrassed to say I slept on him in his Flipmode days. I remember him on The Heist and just wanting to hear Busta, Rae, and Ghost.I agree, I remember the violator days when marcberg was just a new york "street album" that made it way to being a national digital downloaded album. One could argue it was reloaded being what it was that got us to this point but I feel like he was still on the same level as willie the kid and Bronson at that point. It was the rosebuud joint that put him ahead of all the other underground cats I was following/follow at that time til now. He is the unquestioned underground rapper king right now but I still feel that as far as the whole underground rap lane goes wtk, currensy, bronson,planet asia, swollen members and a few others are just as responsible when it comes to keeping this genre of rap strong but roc really came thru on some michael jordan shyt. 6 championships in a row
Roc made the underground fly again. Late 90's going into the 00's, it was almost like a sin to be dipped up, pushing a European whip, and pop champagne if you were an underground artist. Roc brought it back to the essence where it was okay to be super lyrical making great non conformist music as well being on that fly sh*t. He has become a landmark artist who changed the culture in the underground scene.I agree. I’m embarrassed to say I slept on him in his Flipmode days.

I caught on a few months after Marcberg. And I agree that he’s been dope since then but Reloaded is still in my eyes what made the larger audience catch wind.
I agree about Rosebudd too. From then on it’s like he moved past the lane that he helped create. I like that he talks about what he contributed on this album too. A lot of modern goon albums are very much in the Marcberg and Reloaded lanes, but Roc’s production is getting ridiculously experimental. Some of it’s not for me but I really appreciate what he’s doing.
Roc is definitely the biggest / most significant underground lyricist since DOOM and arguably more influential.
Roc is the goon version of doomI agree. I’m embarrassed to say I slept on him in his Flipmode days. I remember him on The Heist and just wanting to hear Busta, Rae, and Ghost.
