The content is varied, and adult at times, some of it is sexual, some of it is about relationships, there's only one track about gangs, and it seems almost entirely lacking in the "I'm the best rapper in the world" content that is so prevalent in rap. As is normal for hip-hop albums, there is a smorgasbord of guests, and also linking vignettes between tracks, so the whole thing flows as a whole. The rapping, is mostly fast as I said, and there are a lot of words, happening very quickly, in different "flow" styles. Vocal harmonies take a big leaf out of the Prince style, and guitars hark back to Jimi Hendrix, and there is a general psychedelic feel at times. Actually, there is less rapping than you might expect, because there is more singing, and on occasion what maybe could be called "tonal rapping" - it has a note. Secondly, those musical elements are varied, and bring in elements of soul, funk and quite a bit else. There are a good number of real instruments and actual musical elements (rather than just beats and shouting). First of all, I don't know if they used any samples, but I think possibly not. After reading about the album, and catching some hints as to why some people reckon this is one of the most influential rap albums ever, I knew some stuff to listen for. On my first listen, the things that impressed themselves on me were: 1) quite a lot of use of nasty words, 2) some pretty explicit sexual stuff and 3) some of the fastest rapping I have ever heard. These words are used so liberally in rap that they have little impact any more, which is a problem for rappers - what do they need to say in order to be edgily offensive these days? How can they climb the potty-mouth ladder to new heights? It's a toughie.

There's one, that's actually two words, that is generally considered to be about the sweariest of swears in the US, and there's another, which can only be used by people of colour to describe themselves, and if anybody with skin as pale as mine were to even think of writing it, I would have a lot of offended people tutting at me. One problem with rap is the normalisation of nasty words. There is a problem with rap, well, more than one possibly.
The first listen - I was quite non-plussed. On this occasion, reading made a difference. I listened to this twice, and in-between read about it.

The Rookery has a reputation for "best burger in town" and "one of the South's best burgers" so I sampled a steak sandwich, shaved ribeye with sauteed mushrooms, onions and provolone on a toasted hoagie.
From the Main Stage, my wife chose pub-style fish and chips, beer-battered Atlantic cod with house-made fries, cole slaw and lemon-dill tartar sauce. We started with chicken tenders with honey mustard, spicy pimento cheese dip with applewood bacon, jalapeno and Rookery chips and hand-tossed Caesar salad with grated parmesan, croutons and romaine. My wife and I aren't into rowdy and loud music but the Rookery has to be seen to be appreciated.
