Joe Rogan. 6.1/10 would listen to with Elon Musk.

I feel the subject matter on the Rogan monologue sets a good tone for what follows. If you remove what you know about his personality and just take these snippets as they are.
The brutal honesty in the emcee’s writing and his ability to articulate it is unique. It doesn’t sound contrived.
The production of both this dude’s albums is incredible, for me. It reminds me of El-P a bit, but more industrial/metal/80s techno influenced. Definitely some Kavinsky. It’s a little uncomfortable, and that works with his content.
