Agreed. Killer Mike at his best is RTJ, whereas El has a catalogue of material as good if not better than RTJ.

So far I've heard:
Kanye West
The Weeknd
Blue Scholars
Travis Scott
Kendrick Lamar

Would love some recs.

Try Open Mike Eagle and Childish Gambino, I feel like they'd be up your alley. A Special Episode Of for OME and Because of the Internet for Gambino.

Thanks! I'll do that.

A$AP Rocky
Frank Ocean
Tinashe
Mick Jenkins
Denzel Curry
Flatbush ZOMBiES

Beautiful. I'm heard A$AP and Flatbush (who I saw perform live at Bumbershoot a few months ago). Thanks Goof!

Blu & Exile is a great rec.

I think that Reagan is Killer Mike's best song overall, but RTJ is his best, and is also pretty much El's lowest point. I mean, it's really fun and **** like that but it doesn't have the replay value of his solo stuff or Company Flow.

Company Flow is the ****.

Every time I listen to R.A.P. Music I make it to Reagan before switching. It's not that the album isn't really good, it's just that I find it to be far better than the rest of the album. Southern Fried is really good too.
