Much to my surprise, I'm enjoying this album quite a bit. Generally not a fan of hip hop.
I think it's funny. Lot's of clever lines all over the place.
The beats (that's what I'm supposed to call the backing music, right?) are very nicely varied, textured and with a sense of sonic depth to them. Much hip hop is musically boring to me. Most, really. This album has a lot of good things going for itself in this department and I like it.
I like the overall personality, voice and style of this rapper. I think he's got a lot of subtle qualities that serve to make these tracks feel varied, interesting and relatable. There's no tough guy posturing and it's not too goofy either. Despite being a comedy album, there's a strong human undercurrent to this. A sort of connection to reality and everyday life that makes the album feel more relatable and nuanced.
Don't know if I will buy the CD eventually, but I will keep it on my Spotify for sure.
This is a good album. I voted "liked it".
