Himanshu actually has a lot of great stuff to say
In response to critical reception of his album
relax on "you have to ride the wave"
Quote:
I'm in a silk robe at the bank copping CDs
With guap that I made by selling these CDs
And guap that I saved by having a great CD
Yo yo yo yo yo, that's a Curriculum Vitae
I could always say, "I did it my way."

He addresses being considered a subpar rapper
Quote:
Trying to make money like white people, and
Learn how to be figurative, less literal
Hyper literate, hyper referential
Rap too minimal
Trying to write for The Guardian about Pakistani generals

Quote:
They say I act white, but sound black
But act black, but sound white
But what's my sound bite supposed to sound like?
I think I sound aight
I sound tight
Ayo, don't worry bout how I sound aight?

How he portrays justifying drug addiction/quick turnaround is genuine.
Quote:
I can't drink as much
Stop smoking blunts
Don't split the dutch
Think I'll quit the drugs
Kicked to the curb, too much
You on whose nuts?
Still puff the herb
Dorothy & Herb, get my art collection up
Still can drink a little
Poor myself another cup

Obviously i really like this dude and probably take him a bit too seriously. I don't think he's going to be an underground staple, but i think he provided a refreshing voice for a while.
Mike Finito is a great producer. Love the indian voice loops and how fast all his rhythms are. If you listen carefully he provides background voices for all of heems tracks almost which really help the verses sound better.
