DNA is a killer song and music video. I need to listen to the rest of the album.

Yeah I agree with everybody else. Mike is awesome and funny and **** el-p.

didn't realize we had that many members with bad taste, surprising.

I'm making a running list of offenders.

I never felt one was better than the other on RTJ and I've never heard Killer Mike's solo stuff, only El-P's.

It's probably a case by case scenario like most rap duos. Certain songs where Mike kills El-P and vice versa. But I feel they are both on the same wave length and that's why they vibe so well together.

Edit: I typically don't really think or care about those things unless it's abundantly clear that the talent in a group is extremely unbalanced. Like in Dark Half where Geno Cult**** (RIP) was much much more talented than Damien Quinn.

Both were just okay on RTJ compared to their best solo stuff, but Mike was closer to his peak than EL-P for sure.

**Frownland** · 04-23-2017, 05:00 PM

I agree with that Goof.

I also think that RTJ3 is Mike's best performance so far. I think his verses on Call Ticketron is better than El's tbh.

I haven't made my mind up about DAMN yet, it's surely....different...from To Pimp A Butterfly but not to extraneous to the rest of his work.

I'm not sure if this is a popular opinion but RTJ3 has gone right over my head. I have no intention on giving it the light of day anytime soon. Which is sad I know.

Songs on shuffle. But I don't plan on listening to the album as whole either.

Especially when I still got Damn. and Altars to jam. And The Murder was decent too.
