shyt, Premo Rice on da verge of takin' LJ spot. LJ's last couple releases been borderline mid.

Dude will hold down a hold album just on charisma.

I agree I'm a big Larry June fan and his last couple of releases have been meh, for what I've grown to expect out of him. They don't suck, but I expect more out of him.

I always thought he was like a poor mans Wiz Khalifa. Simple easy to digest lyrics and a great ear for beats. But he has way less style and charisma than Wiz which leaves a lot of his shyt forgettable. Very hit or miss, and the hits have a ceiling, whereas when Wiz hits, his shyt really hits.
Wiz had a much better flow, and actually melodic ability for hooks

I been listening to June longer than I have Rice but i agree...I didn’t care for the Harry Fraud/Cooking Soul projects or the last one he just put out. I ain’t saying those were wack, I just think June is over saturating himself too much imo. He put out like 12 projects in the last 2 years which is crazy lol.

If he cut back on the number of mixtapes he put out, the quality would be way higher.

Forget The Yellow Album, I thought Dom was gonna blow up after this underrated gem.

shyt got so much burn...The Yellow Album Included, shyt all of his projects were in rotation :blessed:

well that was before that abysmal By Dom Kennedy album came out. :mjcry:


Dom is obviously a underground legend and should’ve became more popular but compared to someone like Wiz? Wiz was destined to become a superstar no matter what. The cool stoner image with the ability to sing and naturally make catchy songs was what separated him from the likes of Dom and Curren$y.

I still check everything Dom does and I’ll say he’s trending in the right direction but he’s never gonna come close to the music he made in the early 10’s
