King Los has something to say.
“I’m not on the list ever,” writes Los. “I’m never on any list but you all will learn to respect me !!!!” Foreboding in the best possible way, Los’ warning serves as a reminder that he’s got plenty left to say; case in point, an insane twelve-minute freestyle session on the LA Leakers earlier this week. While it’s unfortunate he interpreted the list as disrespectful, we can’t lie and say we wouldn’t welcome more music from the rapper, especially if he’s coming at it with a chip on his shoulder.
While frustrations of this nature are understandable, it goes without saying that one list does not and should not serve as validation to an artist’s talent. Few would argue that King Los isn’t nice with it, though I suppose the ranking process inevitably leads to issues such as these. Especially in a group dynamic, in which many different tastes must unite to find common ground. Still, if there’s one takeaway to be had here, it’s that King Los is ready to force the narrative in his favor; consider his warning a good omen.
