yeah, Riff Raff isn't trying to paint a goddamn world like Aesop Rock.. but his music is a lot more fun than Aesop Rock's, and there's a time and place for everything.
as far as Riff Raff being bad at rapping? yeah right.. he's mad versatile in his flows, he's got styles for days, and his cadence is always on point. plus, he actually has real presence
you don't know how long he's been practicing or whatever.. and saying "yeah he practiced for a long time he sucks" is just silly
also, what the hell does a retarded athlete have to do with music.. that's such a flawed analogy it's not even funny. you're saying that if a retard makes good music, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day he's still a retard? it's about the end product.. you're sounding like those people who are like "i don't care how good your beats are, if you make them using software and not an MPC, that's whack"

Riff Raff has no flow whatsoever, his rhymes sound like a dyslexic person reading nonsensical rap lyrics in his head. I'll give you that it's entertaining, but his cadence, his voice, his subject matter, and his entire persona is just a poor mimicry of what southern rappers and gangster rappers pioneered over a decade ago. The only reason he does what he does is because he was brought up to think it's "cool" and will make you rich. He has no talent, and the music he makes is near unlistenable.
