I'm not sure anything has surpassed it, certainly not from Roc's contemporaries.

Also in hindsight how much of a preview of Roc's future did we get on Peru? Super left sounding, somewhat off putting sonically the first few times you hear it, but that shyt has a dope vibe that nobody else really tries. Roc could easily do soul loops on every album and satisfy fans but I always appreciate how he seeks out different samples/sounds. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...but the pursuit of going left and taking risks is what separates him from everyone else in that sub-genre.

Yup. Especially noticeable to me on RR2: bitter dose

Songs like "kill you" , "the sauce" and "power" all on one album. A mix of left field and "traditional". Some of the albums after that just went way the fukk out there and because of that I have to really be in the mood for that type of mood of music.


I appreciate the risk taking no doubt about it. Lyrically he is always top tier, but sometimes his risk taking doesn't hit for me and that's fine, I still appreciate the ambitiousness and refusal to get complacent and go for blatant cash grabs.

Every album has some absolute gems. "Covid cough" is one of those love it or hate it tracks I really fukk with, same as "downtown 81"


Anyway back to this album: absolute classic in every sense of the word. Marcberg is a classic as well but this album is undoubtedly more complex and a moving forward of his art
