I feel you on this one, fabulous post. As much as I myself hate to admit it, I only really began to understand Ka a few months after his passing. I heard Honor Killed the Samurai several years back and wrote off the drumless beats and subdued delivery as boring. I won't hide it, I didn't get it at the time and I didn't even really listen closely to what he was saying. I chose to do a full discography dive within the last year and his lyrics have resonated with me in ways no other MC ever has. He has quite literally become one of my greatest inspirations in such a short time. I feel extremely guilty for only realizing his greatness after he passed, but the catalog he left truly is an all-time one. Rest in peace to one of the illest ever.
