Dude makes good raps. I don't think we expect much more from a rapper these days. In fact that alone, along with being yourself is redemption music.

and with all the el-p beats supposedly on Lost In Translation... I was thinking it had to do with EL.

Noz wasn't too far off when he referenced Sir Menelik's space cadillac.

Referenced it how? I know that no one in their right mind is putting Mr. eXquire in Menelik's league, are they?

I've liked most of the eXquire shit that's surfaced since "Huzzah", but the verse in that song has finally made me a believer in his potential. Perfect, perfect lane for him, and the verse is point-blank bananas.

I dunno, everything happening from the 1 to 2 minute mark struck a chord with me that I hadn't gotten yet from the other work I've heard.

He's not. This is textbook Blogerrati Bonerism approaching its apex. Definitely an ill dude, but not ill enough to get his own beats. HustleCrowe filmed him and a friend (nh @ "filmed him and a friend") in a convenience store rapping to an EL-P instrumental. Take away the Snob Set's lust for anyone who can rap and this guy is like a 1996 B-side at best.

I think he's more idiosyncratic than you're giving credit here but I agree with most of your sentiment.

St. Laz and Lord Superb aren't really good comparisons. I haven't heard much St. Laz but neither of them are as funny or weird as Exquire. Sure, Lord Superb has conducted himself in a not-so-ordinary manner in real life, but he hasn't been buggin out lyrically since Supreme Clientele, at least not from what I've heard.

Superb Clientele, Lord's 2009 release, is sick but not as entertaining as The Big Fat Kill.

I don't think anybody said he's better than Thurston yet.

Has it gotten to the point that pretty much every new rapper that gets a good reception here goes on to develop hype way too quickly and fizzle out early as a result of unrealistic expectations? Should we just partially ignore promising rappers and give them two years to improve before gassing them up and enabling twitter-based collabos to emerge and blog coverage to overexpose?

You're right. He's an ill cat and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to avoid listening to him rap.

If the average "career" these days reached or eclipsed two years I think everyone here would agree besides the faggots.
