Certainly, they offer insights that are valuable even without context, however it does not diminish the importance of it.Same should apply to music, since it can be analysed in the same way. People have been angry for a very long time, it’s just only now that people are acting out on itBasically my conclusion is that RTJ4 isn’t great because Killer Mike and El P are prophets, it’s great because they read the room (also it’s dope music)I can agree with that score, it's an extremely solid album from Mike and El.
