This nikka name gets brought up in every 'old rap vs new rap' convo. This ain't it.

Edit: just noticed this thread is 3 years old

There is nuffin he does to be a fan of.
When you know one man army makes and does this.
all from a higher skilled longer statured place.
Plus why listen to him.
When sah babii is much better at this type of melody hard rnb with introspective melody rhymes shyt.
As far as trying to remember which sa sumfin spelled guy is worth a revisit in spins.
Plus better immediate reward in everything.
Including production.
Saba has no pop from the listens.
i have sat bored through and i do not need introspection.
Especially when oc word life exists.
to all balls do not bounce and book of human language.
As far as needing this type of modern take on underground cali shop style music.
in some one that is an elder listener.

If you know hiphop history. You know this type of artist has been done better with higher pop.
In skill and production.
Whether underground or on a major. Plus this is too welled in being more church rap.
When i do not get any emcee anything from this guy.
Where are his dope rhymes at frfr.

Not this i been there heard the retrospective genre done past the point of no return.
Just wish if a young guy was presented. He really tore shyt down and was not oc times up thirty years later pretty much. Or some styles war era sound scape guy. Who technical skillset is outdated and singy song.
Resulting in them being offkey and lack technicality. So everything is sung like a church singer who raps.

It is dated and feels made by someone.
who just frequented the genre and not a bboy or emcee like that.
Plus tries to play race when skug already sewn this market uo.
At the end of the day it feels like homebody rap tho.
Which has no real world emcee anything.
just a bunch of pm dawn singing.
to cover up for lack of real skill mid level rhyme to mid level rhyme.
With no technical upgrade or ill factor.
It is pop church rap.
From a new rap nineties nostalgia listener.
who listened to a few albums in that era. Yet does not and will Not do the work history in the culture tho.
It feels fake plastic at the end of the day.
Plus depressive.
as it wallows in retrospection no older listener will revisit as a staple. Nor someone who knows the genre well enough to skip over this.

Wish i could say different but it is what it is.
