I feel like so often I'm more disappointed than happy to find out more about artists I like. Personally, Peggy working with Kanye, Yung Lean recently hanging out with Kanye - that stuff was shitty to see

Who are some artists who are based that you appreciate?

The super villain MF DOOM remains based as his whole career was focused on the craft. People love to meme him up (in mostly good faith in my experience) but I think katz like MF DOOM, J Dilla, and other hip-hops of that vein that put the music first always seem to just be good dudes who wanted to make good music.

In like some radio interview DOOM talks about why he makes music and says like its nice to have music to listen while traveling on train. He loved making music and I would miss him always.

Yeah it sucks that Dilla and DOOM are gone. It’s really a shame that such prolific artists are gone, but likely they inspired a lot of different music and art.

That is true. They did. I'm always glad to see DOOM or Dilla being referenced in production. Lot of surreal rap still takes some inspiration from DOOM.
