His voice is irritating and his arguments are exactly the kinda hair brained stuff potheads talk about. Meh, I dunno... not really impressed.
Politics aside he is a quality act certainly not the holy grail but good none the less,

The beats are excellent his flow is good and some of his put downs and metaphors are unreal. Id imagine he is an awsum battle mc.

You really should give him another listen.


As for his politics, he comes across as pretty intelligent to me, some of his arguments are simplistic but when he is fighting against the likes of Fox news and American conservative journalism in general its only natural for him to gravitate towards their level. Its not as if his target audience will be fulll of well educated men now is it.
