    The year is 2021. The rap scene for some time has been taken hostage by evil forces of sheer ignorance. The true hip hop heads have retreated back into the underground. They reminisce about the golden era, and they hope for one day when the light will shine on the surface once again. They click this timestamp 0:00 and proceed to vibe the fuck out

      @@thevisitor1012 Kendrick is good, still on that street poet vibe. Black Thought is the underground's savior right now if you ask me. He's been THAT guy since The Roots started, his work as Black Thought is unmatchable. Poet laureate quality rhyme schemes and wordplay, structure, storytelling. He's also got very high standards for beats and finds producers that deliver.
