>Impossible Kid is
>textbook underground

nothing about it is 'textbook', from the:

subject matter (songs about having a goth brother and a little league coach killing a gopher, your cat, seeing a psychiatrist, feeling old around trendy looking kids working at a juice shop, etc)

flow and rhyme style (aesop opening up his style to writing sometimes very direct and to the point but also many dense/abstract parts, really only a select few rappers can pull off that blend of direct and abstract, lupe being one of them)

instrumentals (combinations of live instrumentation, samples, synths, and breaks, sampling and working with the band Grimace Federation, there's a blend between boom bap, analog darkwave synth stuff, and even sorta prog-rock)

fine if it doesn't connect with you like lupe, but to say anything about it is textbook is absurd.
