Finally some recognition of his skills.
Neither Relapse or Recovery are classics (esp. not Recovery) but still: the level of skills he displayed in places on both was/is fucking unreal - and for someone as big as him to make something like "Stay Wide Awake" - that alone fucking stepped shit way the fuck up to something incredible...
Who the fuck else in the mainstream do you hear doing anything close.
And yet, felt as if critics didn't even acknowledge that... one or two did but was just like "meh, not rapping about exactly what I want so... next". People seemed to be blinded by the yelling and the 'accent', like they couldn't hear the amazing rapping despite their dislike of the tone.
Good that they're actually mentioning the intensity of the rhymes and flow with RG, as he rarely gets credited like he should for the levels he takes it too technically. Regardless of content.
