    Thanks for posting this, I found it mad interesting - I've heard lots of people clowning on Blueface and implying that his offbeat flow is just a marketing tool, failing to realise how many great rappers of the past utilised it and made it their own. MF Doom is a brilliant example - one of the sharpest minds in rap (imho) who really pushed the perceived boundaries of cadence and flow in music. I saw this video of Blueface rapping on beat the other day and was kinda surprised at how so many of the comments are calling him a troll or saying he raps off beat for clout, unaware that it is just another style of rapping which has been around for decades.
