ay blunt i was speaking in general, not directly at you. obviously everybody aint gonna dig the shit as much as everyone else. i was just giving my opinion on the quality of his music, and everyone that i know that hears this new shit is diggin it. it was a bad choice of words on my part. at first i thought it was kinda weak too, but the more i listen the more i like it, even though a few of the songs are kinda weak & some beats are not up to par. it gets about a 8.5 from me.
to the other cat i know his singing aint marvin gaye quality and everybody might not dig it, but i doubt you can name me one rapper you listen to who does not mention weed/pussy/money in some form or another in every song. these are the things we fuck with every day, so that is what we express in songs & flicks. devin is not talking about nothing that aint been talked about a million times before, and that we don't talk about with our potnas all the time, but he does it in a way that is genuine & soulful where most niggas aint talkin about shit but them getting more money drugs & bitches. devin is actually talking about the reasons why we do what we do, & why we don't question these reasons or ever try to change the behavior that we know is harmful. he is an easy nigga to listen to because his albums is some shit that is like straight conversation with a homie about real life shit. your average gangsta nigga aint tryin to talk about that shit because he is too busy killin other niggas, or sellin em dope.
i don't know about you, but i'm gettin tired of listening to "thugs" tellin me bout more killin or the name brands of the shit they wish they was buyin. and even if they can & are buying the shit, what enjoyment am i getting from you telling me what kind of car you drive? that shit does not matter to me at all, the muthafucka might as well be ridin a bus, shit is inconsequential. if they can spit the shit in a original way that shows creativity & passion, i'll listen to it for a minute, but hearing that thug/pimp/killa shit over & over is like chewing chewed bubble gum.
