he had some songs i liked so i got a bunch of his stuff, and realized i didnt like him THAT much. technique wise im sure hes up there, but just not my style.
Exactly. He's one of the best rappers as far as skills go, diction and cadence are second to none. Subject matter and the music he makes, however, are definitely for a specific audience.
I recorded him once. Super cool dude, very respectful and professional, but you won't catch me really bumping his sh*t too often. Just can't really get into it.

I'm sorry, but Tech None and Lil Wayne are pretty awful. Drake had potential but went Ja Rule on us. Made one love song and never stopped. Most of the underground stuff nowadays is corny. I'm having a hard time surviving out here. Watch the Throne was extremely disappointing. Just no juice on it.

Tha Carter's have had some good songs, but his most recent one had wayyy too much pop on it, and the fact he has Bruno Mars on a track with him ruined it for me. I think Carter 3 was actually a pretty good album, but I like his older underground stuff more. The last good thing he put out was 'No Ceilings' before he went to jail and since then has given up most of the drugs that he was doing which made his word play amazing. It's good for his health but bad for his music unfortunately. Not sure if I'll ever like him how I used to.
As for other artists, Childish Gambino is frequently played on my ipod. I got into him through the show Community which I'm luke warm about, but his rapping is really good. I wish more of his music would leak!
J Cole puts out some good stuff as well with real lyrics, but now that is he getting more mainstream his songs have become increasingly pop-like. My friend opened for him at UMass a few months ago so I got to meet him and he was a pretty cool dude.
I've always really liked Lupe Fiasco, but unfortunately his record label is making him do tracks he doesn't want to so he has a completely different feel.
Tyler, the Creator is also really starting to grow on me. I was pretty down on him at first, but lately I've really liked his newer stuff. His lyrics are really creative.

Dumb founded that someone can not like childish gambino...
Camp is a great album.
