I'm not trying to clown but saying you didn't know how melodic Bone Thugs n HARMONY could be is like saying you didn't know Busta Rhymes could bust fast rhymes.
I just thought it was a name because, like I said, my only exposure to them was that feature on Lord by A$AP Ferg where all they did was rap at 100 miles an hour for 3 minutes straight. No melody there.
True. I think the hyperbole is a lot more extreme considering Gambino is basically the only Renaissance Man in hip-hop. Because there's no one else in hip-hop doing the kind of things he's doing in film, television, and music, the praise gets more intense.
"Awaken, My Love!" is really interesting and "Redbone" is a top-tier pop song.
My problem with Redbone and "Awaken My Love!" is that it felt like it was Gambino's best impression of Maxwell or D'Angelo.
