I mean this kid got a lot of the elements needed. Play a few of the joints, let it sink in.

Also, peep this freestyle R.A. The Rugged Man put up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctlo9e5MDOg



https://soundcloud.com/jamal-gutierrez/a-f-r-o-definition-of-a-rap-flow -- he won some contest R.A. The Rugged Man held for the "Definition Of A Rap Flow" contest. I thnk he's out of Los Angeles. He's super dope.

171033, that flow
Posted by Original Juice, Mon Oct-06-14 11:29 AM
He has a really deep voice and a big flow, but it doesn't match his look. He's a big boy and all, but still.. Perhaps he would have been better off not revealing his face at first.

Anyways, I hear a lot of Quannum/Solesides (Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, etc) influence in his style. I'll be listening for more..
171034, he's a rapper man

you gotta be attracted to him?

funny thing is that is the first critique people have anytime a female rapper is presented
and it's just as ridiculous in either instance.

To make more plain I find it funny how out of tune my taste are with the rest of OKP because folks will go crazy for this but poop on Drake all day.

This kid is proficient in my opinion but not my steeze at all.

171076, You're a fucking idiot.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Oct-21-14 03:57 PM

People love and hate Drake, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Nas,
etc because they have BODIES of work that can be
judged. And in Drake's case, he was born and raised
in the social media era, and so we have more access
to many things about him TO love/hate (a good bit
of Drake's love/hate has nothing to do with music).

You have ZERO reason to dislike this AFRO kid.

None.

He can rhyme. Judge him on the material that you've
heard.

If its not your think, cool.

But there is NOTHING to *dislike*.

171077, You post incoherently.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Oct-21-14 07:05 PM
Are you saying there is enough here to like him but not dislike him?

Is it really not possible for me to NOT like this kid?

Are you making a distinction between dislike and "not like"?

Do YOU think what you are saying makes sense? Do you make sense to that loud ass barking dog?


I don't need a body of work to see this style an type of rap isn't my thing.

BTW, that's all I ever said. I never said I dislike him. Frankly though, there is enough material here for someone to judge whether they like or dislike this dude, clearly some people do. I ain't mad at them, different strokes.

More over all of that is irrelevant because none of what you said has anything to do with my simple observation that I have very different taste from people who love this but hate Drake (that you think what you said is responsive to that is signs of your incoherency).

Sooo Pipe down. You should have more in your life that gets you riled up than this.

I see that this is going nowhere so feel free to respond, but I am done.

171078, You're not making a grain of sense.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Oct-21-14 07:47 PM

You should have just said:

"Hey, why don't you guys like Drake?"

Because that seems to be your point.

And that has nothing to do with A-F-R-O.

You got caught trying to force a Drake discussion
in here, and it doesn't fit.
