Rap is entirely inseparable from its lyrical content, and its lyrics are inseparable from their insecure claims to authenticity, and inevitable descent into exaggeration and self-aggrandizing.
The homey Willy Staley wrote a thoughtful and interesting piece for The Awl. I’m still laughing about the idea of a Calvin Trillin Gangsta Grillz.

15 tracks. All produced by Shady Blaze. Don’t sleep.
not a question.. but main attrakionz - ""whole lotta shakin" was produced by Marlee B.
Good to know. Thank you. And also thank you for your production on Dope Since ‘91. I’ve been enjoying your beats for a while, and “Willy Wonka” and “The Movement” are some ethereal blaps.
