and did any of you guys listen to Time and watch the video? the video is a trip.. and you guys act like he's just being generic and trashy?
that first verse is dope and unexpectedly heartfelt from Riff Raff..
Quote:
sometimes i feel
feel like my time has past
like i'm an hourglass
and the sand is moving fast
in this life i live
my dad is my best friend
but it seems like i never call him unless i need some money...
ain't that something?
the people all around me
i mean the ones that i do have
it's like they're here today, but they'll probably be gone tomorrow...
when it's rainin' hard and
my car breaks down
i've got no one to call on
(except triple a)

second verse is just as good
that guy goes from writing a song like that with a slow, singy flow that fits his twangy southern accent while making good use of echoing vocals to straight ripping the mic on Bird on a Wire over lush, spacious horns, to swag rap over the slush-rubber bounce of Brain Freeze to a straight up hip hop joint on Larry Bird.. rapping in different styles on all of them but always on point, with original rhymes and sometimes funny, sometimes absurd, sometimes just stylish lyrics.. and you guys write him off because he has a BET tattoo.. weak.
