“Dude’s got personality. He’s a conflicted, searching thinker, with an outsider/insider perspective that merges the personal and the political, and lashes-out against the street mentality that mocks his forward-thinking hip-hop. “Niggas say I dress white,” he observes a little hurt, and retorts, “flow must be cocaine.” He also makes a joke about “white bitches” whose “favorite band is Mr. Bungle,” which is just really funny. A few years ago this would be derisively called “hipster rap,” but that kind of categorical thinking has been pleasantly deconstructed by now.”
