On Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.
"@riceblades Yes. As already explained elsewhere, this is not my primary style of music, and I'm missing a lot of references there. But I don't want to narrow myself to a style so I'm exploring. My brain is certainly making a lot of clumsy links between artists due to this lack of knowledge,, and I will certainly regret them once my knowledge increases, but that's the thrill of going out of my comfort zone :-) And if you want to know, it's the song "running out of time" that made me think of Kendrick."

On Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
"@yea I'm still trying to learn more, though. One day, my hip hop references will be more precise! :-D"
On Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
"@yea Certainly because Hip Hop is a style I'm less educated in. Still have the impression that it all sound the same, sometimes. So I heard this one and thought: it sounds like all the others, including Tyler. But I'm trying to educate myself. It's not that easy. I've got the same challenge with classical music."
