and more mindblowing in many ways, there's not a single pander towards the regular


but it's also in many ways a regular killer mike album


el-p is more impressive to me. (because he seems to have no interest in denying Mike is a southern rapper, while keeping it undeniably Def Jux)


obviously I need a lot more listens, and they will obviously come as rapidly as possible, but pledge 2 changed my point of view on a LOT of things, it really helped bring me out of a dark period.


maybe, for me, r.a.p. album will suffer against pledge 2 in that nostalgic aspect. but I have to believe even this early (just finishing jojo's children) that this album is every bit that album's equal, at the VERY least.


pl3dge was a bit of al et down for me, honestly. this is a total retribution.
