Yeah gonna second this and also add on Milo's A Toothpaste Suburb, which is also wonderfully absurd in a more nerdy stream-of-consciousness way. (And to a lesser extent I'd also reccomend Nocando's Jimmy The Burnout.) All of these are from Nocan's LA label "Hellfyre Club" which is pretty much one of the most interesting places in hip-hop right now imo #gettoknow

I love this album and it's definitely my favorite Busdriver album. The lyrics and production are fantastic. I adore the second half in particular, as well as the "Ego Death" track, all three killed it on that. And I second the Dark Comedy recommendation.

Not as big as 1998, a year in which hip-hop was so big that Juvenile managed to sell over four million copies of 400 Degreez, Lauryn Hill released the album that got her nominated for ten Grammys, and DMX put out two different triple-platinum albums. Sort of puts a few indie-rock publications naming Run The Jewels 2 as their album of the year into perspective.

Yeah, it's pretty fantastic but I admit for me I haven't really vibed off this year's hip-hop selections (even some of the one's among the best of), but as a longtime Busdriver fan this wasn't hard for me to like. I compare it to how I originally felt about Tangent as it only grew more favorable with each approaching listen. I mean my favorite the rapper's done is obvious Roadkillovercoat which I've argue did the whole balance of accessibility and abstract quirks that it seems Perfect Hair is getting, but however people get into Busdriver doesn't concern me as long as they ultimately do appreciate him as an innovator and creator.

This, and I like Milo more.
I don't like Busdriver much
The nerdy aspect seems a little forced to me, but maybe that's my view on the criticism of it

Busdriver is way too kindred for him to be that sort of fake and contrived, you can see it as old as footage from the early 90s that his peers even thought along these lines. If memory serves, him and Pigeon John were seen as some of the chillest spirits around.

this confuses me seeing as Milo is infinitely more nerdy than Driver, (and honestly it doesn't feel forced in either case to me). Honestly that "nerdiness" just seems like such a natural part of his character, and is so integral to his style

Swap RKOC with Temporary Forever and this is basically my same sentiment
