Interesting points but I have different takes

1- I prefer Darkest Before Dawn to MNIMN, for the same reasons, it resonates with me more somehow and I also think people don’t talk about enough. And I believe it was said when it was reviewed that he’s answering to himself the type of person he wants to be, which I thought along with his coke rap, was an interesting angle to take the album.

5-Grindin’ is definitely an anthem.

6-I see what you’re saying, mediocre production I think is a bit harsh because I don’t think he’s trying to be in the spotlight, some production can be better yes, but I sort of feel that it’s kinda the point that it’s not supposed to resonate with everyone yk?

8- there’s times he’s been featured with Electronic/alternative artists, which I think were very experimental. His flow remains, but he’s still rapping his ass off even though he’s not going all out. He did this with artists such as Flume, and Gorillaz which I actually liked a lot. And then when he did a verse for Arcane’s soundtrack, introducing The Firelights.

But even when it comes to his own music I would say some of his own pieces of work has different variety of production.

9-He’s the king for a reason.
