Also EL-P and Mac Miller (RIP) are the only good white rappers. They aren’t even “white rappers” (which I fear we will see a whole evolution of the white rapper in the come decades) they are rappers who are white.

Huge agree here but I'd also add Potter Payper and K Koke from the UK for great rappers who are white.

Tangentially related but one of my favorite memories is when I was living in China and RTJ3 dropped on christmas eve I think as a surprise release and I spent the whole day posted up on the patio in front of my townhouse drinking and listening to music, probably played that album 3-4 times. This guy who lived in the neighborhood and was always around collecting recycling and stuff I guess to get a deposit came by and was so into it, he stopped and had a beer with me and enjoyed it for a bit even tho I spoke basically no Mandarin and him basically no English. Was one of those human moments enjoying a drink, some good music and good company.

Me too, Killer Mike is someone that disappoints me so heavily. I really liked him when I was younger, he's a skilled musician and definitely understands a lot of shit, but every time I agree with him.

Also, second paragraph is Aesop Rock slander but I mostly agree

Edit: this comment was written wrong, I do not agree with Killer Mike. I don't even remember what I intended to write there, it was in the middle of work I think
