Both were enjoyable picturesque reads. Adonis gave us a ride through memory lane, even mentioning me. Or my former alias. Anyhow, it featured all the usual aspects Adonis draws for us. The ebb and flow of a poetic cadence so remarkably his.
And Mr. J who whimsically bullies us around with his smooth delivery, but yet with a comical twist. He sometimes overshadows his own work trying play the part of the joker, therefore his work doesn't fully actualize to its full-potential.
Adonis also kind of read like an old school rap. Mr. J's style is more advanced. But, alas I choose Adonis because his work left a bigger imprint on me, even if it was just a momentary reflection, it nevertheless had a better impact on my reflective-self.
Vote: Adonis
