I was snooping the most exclusive, hipster "Best of 2011" lists, and couldn't help but notice White Jesus was a popular pick. It was one of those projects micro-bloggers favorite, and choose to peddle all year. It may not have worked on the masses, but I finally broke down and gave it a listen, and I'm glad I did.
On principle, I don't like fast rappers, and I don't listen to Yelawolf. But there I was, listening to a Yelawolf crony spit it as fast as he possibly could, and fuck it sounds good. He fires off over incredible deep-fried bangers supplied by DJ Burn One, and is buoyed by guest appearances from the likes of Yela and Big K.R.I.T. Unlike a lot of rappers with machine-gun flows who hide a lack of content behind blurring speed, Rittz is also a great writer. You see this when breaks down love he's lost, the financial problems associated with being a 30-year rapper, self-doubt and more. Bump it in the whip, and when the bass starts thumping, and Rittz funky delivery is filling your ears, you'll be glad you copped it.

Nowadays it's usually whites taking on KGR's flow creation. Props
