... and he's one of my favorite MCs ever. I think it's that his production doesn't really hit like the types of beats I typically enjoy. There's a lifelessness to them. Even though it seems like all the elements are there, for whatever reason it just doesn't click.

Re: self-deprecation, I also enjoy the hell out of that type of MCing. Blu's early work had a lot of self-deprecation. Eminem. Redman. All 3 of them have been and/or remain as top MCs to me so for me personally, it's not that either. Or at least it *can't* be. Haha.

Honestly I'm trying so hard to describe why I don't like his music because I can't fucking figure it out myself. It's all there, all the things I historically like about MCs. I just don't get anything out of his art, and I can't figure it out outside of just not being moved by it. And it kinda makes me sad specifically *because* of how talented he clearly is. But oh well.
