68. "RE: I wonder if the album might grow on you" In response to In response to 66
I feel you.
I feel like this is just a sub-genre/style of hip hop that I just don't get drawn to. When it is a singular song on an album, I listen to it once, appreciate the dope lyrics and the structure of the rhyme, but the song typically gets skipped on the subsequent listens.
I can totally appreciate the lyricism, but for "me" it is lacking in replay value for "me".
As I think about it, and as blasphemous as it sounds, I don't know if I would've replayed Black Thought's FunkFlex freestyle as many times if it was just a loop with no drums. I need there to be a bounce to it, and drums create that.
