He might have more whatever than ICP or Kottonmouth Kings or whoever but he squanders it by playing up his supposedly great flow as if anyone with taste cares about someone artlessly showing off, he squanders it with his dumbass but oddly pretentious production, and he squanders it with a boring persona that's different from any 2-dimensional rapper only in the specific way he self-aggrandizes. I mean ICP might say dumber **** but they manage to sound less like embarrassing grown men acting like teenage morons simply because they have more charisma to pull it off.

If anything he squanders it by rushing out half assed music rather than sitting down and putting any thought into his music. Thus we get 50 songs a year about him either bragging about drinking, sex, how fast he can rap or how different he is filled with corny punch lines and terrible word play. Nothing too innovative or creative in his music. His production is top notch usually, though. Unless you're one of those people that like simpler production or think that making operatic hip hop is a bit tasteless. I think Tech should take a break for a year then sit down and focus on an album that's only 14 songs so he can put out a true classic filled with great songs rather than 22 mediocre ones.

As for the comment on ICP, it's obvious you haven't kept up with them. I can provide a collage of cringe that proves that wrong.

I don't mess around with modern ICP but when they're good they beat the pants off of Tech. And yes, his production style is absolutely tasteless. I don't know why he thinks it's a good idea trying to sound operatic and street at the same time.

You're the goofball, I'm the white rapper.

I still don't know how much I like the Kings' discography but The Green Album has been staying on play for about three days. The production is just so fun and hype and suits their style. Infectious track after infectious track and you never have to put too much thought into appreciating it while you're browsing memes. One of those albums to throw on when you don't know what to listen to. There's a chance I'm being turnt out to being an actual fan.

I swear I don't try to like so much trash, it just kinda happens and then I have fun spamming it.

Maybe it's not trash if you like it?

There's trashiness about it more than other artists, but the good things make me not care. How's about that?

Maybe it's nostalgia?
