He goes through a mini-gamut of styles. A style that gets to sounding like an islander one minute, falsetto up high, real low, etc. but he doesn't really ever come hard. He does, but not often. I follow you.

Make sure you've dipped through his material. Check out the track Top Qualified. It's on a Haiku D'Etat album and a Gift of Gab album, because it features altogether Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker, Myka 9, and Gift of Gab... Myka is second from last and he uses his time to run through 8 different styles basically. Check his projects with Freestyle Fellowship, Haiku D'Etat, Project Blowed, Magic Heart Genies, and Dave Dub & the Sutter Cain Gang. He has a wicked feature on the Amplive album Murder at the Discotech called Get Served. That's all just in case you wanted to give it another go.

Eh, Mrd00d. I've heard some Magic Heart Genies, I really have planned to listen to Heartifacts for quite a while, then Cardiac Arrest came out and I planned to listen to that, too... Just never did. Someday! Myka 9 has an album coming out soon, and another Freestyle Fellowship album is in the works.

I see you mentioning particular songs (Top Qualified!! Yes), have you heard "Grimey Styles" or "Can You Find the Level of Difficulty in This"? Two of the most insane verses I've ever heard in rap.

Don't get me wrong, I know what he's capable of, and I do know that he has some terrificly dope verses and what not. He's just not someone that I could ever see myself listened to for extended periods of time.

Right on, thanks for the honest, reasonable answer.

I prefer Eminem. What he can do with words in unmatched.

I think that Thom Yorke would be the best rapper ever.
