Purple Swag did have a sharp video too. I mean, he has the nice beats, he has the hooks like you mentioned, so he definitely has mainstream appeal, so as a pop rapper, he's fine. But people just yap up a storm about him and it gets my feathers all ruffled. I'm probably worked up about nothing; Hodgy isn't an extraordinary lyricist, I've known that from the get go. He is, however, a remarkably flexible MC, much like Kendrick Lamaar, in my opinion.

But back to Rocky, I listened to the album again, and I hate it less. He made a good choice in keeping it short and concise. If he had gone sixteen tracks again (+ or -) it would've dug its own grave, but being shorter it only drags through the pretty short midsection. The first three tracks are sharp enough, as everyone said, and "Suddenly" had a nice, Ghostface like moment which is always a plus for me, but he still maintained his own style on it.

So, like, a five or something.
