12684141, "Out of touch" is kind of a cop out to be honest.

It's basically "hater" with an extra syllable. It's a way to try to intellectualize you're own stance on the material while disqualifying criticism on manipulated grounds. If you define critics of a particular piece of work in a negative way (i.e, out of touch) it makes it easier for you to rationalize your wholesale dismissal while retaining some sense of comfort in your own stance.

In the end those are two albums that have decidedly niche appeal, even if one skews much more mainstream than the other. There's absolutely nothing special, groundbreaking, refreshing, or new about BOTS anymore than 36 Seasons. The difference is simply the audience

Shit, Yo Gotti did YG better than YG on "I Know". He took YG's entire sound- literally, his entire. fucking. sound..... and did it far better. That beat takes the DJ Mustard formula and just plain did it better.
