Hey thanks, its been quite a journey for me in terms of how I think about all sorts of things. It’s a shame that his influence is so intertwined with all things hip-hop for me that I can’t really enjoy the genre as much anymore, when I truly consider it to be one of the most emotive and compelling art forms in modern music. But the substitute outlets I found for my fanaticism, like king gizz, or just touching grass, don’t leave me feeling internally conflicted about whether my engagement is morally justified, which feels nice.

It is pretty disgusting that Apple still chose to put MBDTF in their top 100 albums though. It’s not even great as far as KW albums go; it’s like a self-caricature of one. For them to choose it over something like College Dropout comes off as fellatio on someone that doesn’t deserve his spot on the list
