HarveyCanal said:The American South brought us jazz, rock-n-roll, and funk, but yeah, somehow when it comes to rap, it's only about bad taste. How dare UGK loop up some Curtis Mayfield and the Isley Brothers and rap in their own accents? Obv…

Going back into my west coast section. Mid eighties to late nineties west coast, oh mannn. Honestly for all his straining nothing on Lamars new record is fucking with this - musically, lyrically, emotionally, vibe-ically or production wise. 1991.…
