Like son is lyrically and technically killing it. I get the comedy schtick part of it, but his style is more creative than comical. Like, you appreciate how much humor he adds, rather than it taking away from his ability to technically perform. Also, "Truman" earns him some additional respect. 2016-05-06T21:52:58Z Comment by Through The Crate @michaelsince86: Tressie's Response: I dont think theres an identity crisis. I think he knows his nitch and is sticking to it. I agree that he is just as technically proficient as he is funny 2016-05-06T21:48:37Z Comment by Through The Crate @michaelsince86: Cedric's Response:I didn't listen to it yet, but from what I feel about dicky is that he has an identity crisis. Is he a rapper or a joke rapper? 2016-05-06T21:45:46Z Comment by Mass Potential People always say that wack rappers wouldn't exist if Pac was around, but we have to remember, MANY a wack rapper existed and went platinum while Pac was alive. You can't stop wack.

Cause his flow is on par with most tier 2 quality rappers, IMO. 2016-05-06T16:57:47Z Comment by Mass Potential I stopped listening... hahaha, jk 2016-05-06T16:46:01Z Comment by phenol Great Track! 2016-05-06T03:44:38Z
