I love the track for “DNA”. I hear that and I want to jump out my seat. but then I’m hit with “YAH” and I run straight for the ‘next’ button. ‘Element’ bores me to tears. The whole thing puts me to sleep until HUMBLE and that puts me in the same mood as DNA. Duckworth is dope.

To that end I suppose I overstated my position on him because those two joints are heaters that I’ve played consistently.

But there are just too many sleepy atmospheric moments for me, not to mention too much of the slowed down, speaking voice joints. It just doesn’t work for me aesthetically. My aesthetic base is mid-nineties NY, late 90’s Rawkus/Jay Dee, 2000-era Dre.
