Boots Riley is obviously an incredibly creative and clever MC, as seen when he shits all over Black Thought and Talib Kweli on My Favorite Mutiny. But boy that production really makes me reluctant to listen to any of their albums more than once. It's mostly the terrible drums I think. I think Boots also gets kind of stuck in ruts partway through albums: he still has new stuff to talk about but somehow it gets decreasingly interesting.
Choice cuts: Bullets and Love (Introduction), My Favorite Mutiny, Ass-Breath Killers
It's certainly got Burton's hand all over it. Fine I guess. It's wild to me that people think Nicholson is better than Ledger.
