Meth's past issue has always been beat selection. Lyrically, always on point, but he hasn't always rocked over beats that had significant replay value. His singles have been great. But his albums have usually only had 1-2 joints with fire enough beats to throw in the rotation.

I can relate to Meth when he says his writing improved by taking curses out

I totally get that starting on intro, I used to do that all the time when practicing, it just works. Couple times tried to go with it but the one who had made the beat always insisted on starting on point. Also like when I made a song with a friend I suggested me to double him and otherway around but they wouldn't go for it. Those things just adds when you break the mold a little.

Idolized isn’t cool,respect the music is cool
