636194, not good. very self-indulgent. strong concept + poor execution Posted by bearfield, Wed Jan-02-13 03:46 PM
i was expecting some "inside baseball" on the art of rapping. things like structure and technique and syllable counting, etc. all i got was a bunch of "you should respect your elders and write down your rhymes." i think it's telling that he didn't interview anyone under the age of 35
how do you interview raekwon, author of one of the most influential rap albums ever released, a master of figuratively placing the listener in a theater seat and rapping a movie for them, and only ask him "what does it mean to be wack?" what a waste
