It's all a matter of taste I guess, maybe a generational thing too. I have no problem understanding his lyrics, and I acknowledge the astronomical amount of talent this kid has for creative writing, storytelling, and his ability to (seemingly) effortlessly deliver entertaining, relevant, relatable musical content with a message. I grew up during the rise of slim shady/Eminem, unfortunately, and although I like and listen to many diverse genres of music, and even create my own melodic tunes on acoustic guitar, I listen to more rap and hybrid rap/soul/jazz/rock more than I do any other genre. Different strokes for different folks. Samson does have a very bright future in store for him though. Listen to some of his other songs on his YT channel, they're not all like this one where he raps extremely fast and switches up rhyme schemes every other bar. Every song he's uploaded has a different feel to it, but they all have his characteristic sound at the same time. And he always delivers a passionate message through each song. In one song while he is staring INTENSELY into the camera lens and with a lite cigarette in his mouth (throughout the entire song btw and never skips a beat), he says something along the lines of "Fuck mumble rap, I hate it with a passion, and I'm just here to put a mother fucking end to it!" That's actually the exact thing he said and I can't believe that I remembered that. But, I believed him when he said that and it gave me hope. There's honestly nothing I want more from the field of music than for Samson to blow up and literally put a mother fucking end to mumble rap. And gangster rap. And pop. That particular song of his that I referenced btw is called "Idiot Raps To Cardi B's "I Like It" With A Cigarette In His Mouth" where he's just making fun of the song and every other corporate-cookie-cutter song like it. Here's the link, but you probably won't like it because he sings really fast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wimD7LblnLc&ab_channel=Samson
