I like it because I pretty much universally like all hip hop. It’s not minstrel show hip hop meaning it’s not like a black guy pretending to be scary to appear exotic. That’s good if you can hang your hat on it but his rhymes end up pretty dry. Maybe it’s intentionally everyday like his phone data and gas mileage but unfortunately it’s not funny and that’s a pretty serious drawback for “comedy”. It’s also not especially fun. It’s not very hypnotic and it feels like it’s going out of its way NOT to be clever. Still though 3/5.
