Elimination Chamber & The Art of the posse cut

Son Raw would like to share a few thoughts.

1. Domo Genesis carries weed but he clearly aspires to more than weed carrier status. While I wasn't particularly impressed by his contributions to the OF Tape 2, that's probably due to the project's general lack of focus and sub-par production. Rolling papers was dope but that era of Tyler production feels ancient now so this Alchemist-produced full-length is show and prove time. Then again, that's the great thing about OF: through all the hype and skate-punk fanbases they're still young rappers and still evolving.

1. Speaking of which, Earl's voice. Obviously you can't fault the kid but for the lower tone but this performance comes off a little sleepy and it's clear he's still figuring out how to use his voice for maximum impact. Can't fault him for the flow and lyrics though.

1. So Vince Staples is OF's Cappadonna? Wouldn't mind hearing more from him.

1. Alchemist is in that zone right now where he has access to all of the best rappers and knows exactly what to give them. The aughts must have been a long decade for the producer since the rap landscape rarely favored his kind of dusty sampler-funk but what a pay off now that the trends have come around.

1. Action. Fucking. Bronson. Everyone comes correct here but as soon as Bronson steps up, it's not even a competition. Kendrick and Danny Brown aside, there isn't another rapper spitting this much fire so consistently and Rare Chandeliers promises to be something else entirely. There's a reason he gets that applause - let's just hope Interscope doesn't sign him off skin color and stick him with a wack single.
