widescreen is a great word to use there. im going to take my anti-dematerialisation walk in the park now appropriately enough.

in drill. the vocals are fairly ambient; mumbled, little intonation, the flows flow so you don't get that sense of pronouncement as with the current crop of fragmented us rappers.
the truth of the music is this fey woozy gaseous quality of the vocals - the listless wistfulness

barty dont get despondent enthusiasm is infectious. sometimes all it takes to 'get' music is another persons enthusiasm for it. as a listener you need to keep changing the angle of approach with music. different perspectives till you find the one which reveals the centre. tuning the dial till you get a good reception.
yes, for me the lyrics are not helpful. same with drill. but this is how this stuff always works.
lyrics are the ego and the ego is always the very last person to know what's going on.
but that very egoising was what was liberating for some of us in older forms of hip hop. like take no shit, i don't have to conform to white persons infantilisations. people might think im a clown but that's only on the surface. I'm a person of dexterity and a man of science.
Otherwise i agree with nearly everything else u n blissblogger have said, i just don't see any revolutionary potential in todays rap. yeah you're going to bitch about marxism again but it's an inevitable cycle isn't it really given the current configurations.
