121087, buried in another thread i hinted at the geneology of wonk

as coined by p*******k being the descendant of dubstep and grime in a threesome with dilla.
los angeles right now being the wonk opus. cohesive for sure but, it seems to have taken the donut tracklength and applied it to dubstep (i honestly don't know grime when i hear it to identify its influence). all that to say if i had a critique of LA it would be that FlyLo doesn't see any thought through, but takes it to a peak (of sorts) then changes it up so as to not have to resolve it.
resolution is actually something hip-hop has always had issue with, but in this context its exceptionally noticable (as it is with donuts). yet imho its a great improvement from the ongoing plateau stylings of dubstep.
