Sorry, if we don't share your "If I Was Steve Rifkind" mind state on this one, bruh. Agree to disagree.

I can dig this right here. I think if Monch kept remaking tracks like "Bring It On", "Simon Says", and etc., that would get old real fast. And we'd have another thread complaining about how he never switches it up to do anything else that could further what he's been doing. Him making songs like "Desire" and etc. to expand on his style works for him.

I have realized that I do not share Monch's taste as far as the overall projects he wants to make. I want him to rap over harder beats and also, push himself further in terms of MC'ing and his production choices. He obviously wants to push the singing and instrumentation angle more, along with concepts that sometimes just don't grab me.
That said, he has never put out anything even remotely wack. It's just not what I want (and possibly not what many of his fans want, either) but there is attention to the craft and plenty of integrity there, so I can't say I hate it just because it's not what I want him to do.
This as opposed to someone like Common who clearly has abandoned things like "respect for the craft", "integrity" and "creativity" in favor of whatever straws can be grasped to pay for his next pedicure.
LOL @ the Common comment. I can dig this, too.
