It's because you're being called to account for yourself
It's not 'read this essay I wrote for a laugh', it's 'read this essay I wrote and you'd better have something good to say about it'.
I mean, it's that in my head anyway. Same with Crowley's rap writing.
Not that this is what the experience will be like.
I feel the same way when someone says 'watch this, tell me what you think'. 'Listen to this 2 minute song I made, what do you think?'
My self-esteem has been tied to my ability to have interesting thoughts about things since school. I was shit at sports. All I had was my overmuscled brain. So if I fail to understand, fail to have insight - I'm left with what?

Well then we challenge you to do further. Trust us when I say if you'd been good at the sports you would've been pushed there too. I'd know, I was a failed baseball player (sucked at it though so let me not pretend this was any great loss)

Fundamentally nobody here's smarter than you. You just say whatever, there's no ranking here.
Look at Third. Third's brand new to the board and already he claps the beloved Barti on the ear and shouts obscenities at him. I cajole blissblogger despite his legacy and influence and his ability to have a stable household and a reputation based on actual work. It's even ground.

I've got nothing clever to say unfortunately but I'm about halfway through your blog/list and really enjoying the selections and insights. I've not been engaged with rap for a long time now, other than brief forays into Spotify's big lists (as you say, the internet hides as much as it reveals) - so I've not heard pretty much any of these tracks, and this list is making me regret becoming a filthy casual.

Really like that Juvenile song, the point you made re his adaptability to modern rap reminds me of a review I did (you'll be glad to know I can't find it) in the wire comparing a juvenile throwback song with an - apalling - Rubin produced Eminem one. Also one of my favourite rap songs of recent years is Future "Aintcha", which Juve features on and steals. I've never really listened to Juveniles old music, shamefully...

The Blocboy songs are fun and he's got real star quality. I'm only really familiar with Look Alive and No Velcro. I do hate Drake as a general rule but his feature on Look Alive is a good one IMO. Anyway, love the videos, and the point you make about raps self seriousness (there's an outright pomposity to Travis Scott and even Migos) is astute/well taken/bravo chap, etc.

Particularly intrigued by Scrappy Doo cos as you say he brings that New York voice and griminess to the modern trap sound there. Also he featured on one of your lists I think (or was it martorialist?) - Jugg. And I kept banging that one in the gym. He's unorthodox, I will keep my ear out for him.
No, I'll check it though. I picked up on the "Everything's Fine" record last year when everyone was raving about it and I'm impressed. Kinda reminds me of an Outkast album in terms of how visionary and creative it is. A few tracks reminded me of George Clinton musically which is I guess another resonance with Outkast - he was on Aquemini. I still need to go back and listen a few more times as there's a lot of the lyrics still to digest.

Other people's lists make ME feel like a casual often enough, so you're good man, thanks for playing, I appreciate it.

It stems from Mozzy signing and doing an album with Richs sworn rival/enemy Messy Marv who i dont think is a person we have talked about on here but is quite character a rapper who was hot at one point who seemed like he went out of his way to sabotage his career.
