i dont care bout tastemakers thats industry im talking straight music i actually like not what is better more commercially viable etc. fanbases sales etc.

Respect

I agree with other people needing to drop too. Affects their careers if anything

He was on a roll with 2K17 and What You Reckon (still his best song imo)

Since then the quality of his music has declined because he does things for attention (beefs everyone then makes a song about 'protecting my energy' - dude, you were the one causing problems?) and his addiction to trying to expose people and being more OJ than anyone else ended up with him going back to prison lol

I just prefer Central Cee due to beat selection, right people around him, versatility. I like a lot of US rap so it's basically that he raps about more US-centered topics (less gang stuff, more stories about d****/money/fame/breakups) than 'I poked this guy 9 times in the face and I left the weapon at this address' which is jarring to listen to at this point.

Plus he's made tunes with RAYE and FKA twigs and bare French man (can't tell me Polemique and Eurovision are not f***ing fire) as well as Asake which makes him more marketable worldwide and proves his skills outside of typical UK-based rappers.

Free DigDat as well actually because he was the GOAT at one point

Like he said:

'Fuck what you're thinking and f*** your opinion, that mixtape made me a million'

yh thats understandable he is easy to fit into a us artist playlist n if u enjoy that more that makes sense yh wish both digga d n digdat stayed focused they really both had the uk drill game in their hands at one point nw central has lapped then in terms of success n notoriety

think alot of rappers are shook to drop even top tiers very successful rappers like dave skepta n stormzy they seen how majority been doing low numbers (bar central) n don't wanna fall off thats why they been droppin singles then disappearing tryna guage when the best time to drop is

crazy looking at this list cant tell you the last certified project from anyone uk rap fans really going thru it we're malnourished by the lack of project drops

bangers

On the real it’s crazy how good Dave and Cench are as a duo imo

There’s a lot of good uk rap duos (Dave/AJ Tracey esp back in day, Headie/Stormzy) but Dave and Cee’s output is crazy

the start

he just got sentenced be interesting to see where central cee is by the time he comes out

Damn

Yeah remove some tracks and this a really good debut. Just wish the production side of things was better
