As bad as people hate Recovery on here (I'm not one of them FYI), his lyricism on Recovery is sharp as hell, and not as good as SSEP/LP/MMLP/TES wordplay/punches/multis, or even Relapse at times, but he still had a lot of clever wordplay, and a lot of good punches on Recovery. Some corny ones, but clever as fuck.
People on here, I seem to see at least, say the Recovery punches are weak/corny, but I consider them good, way better than average hip hop metaphors.
But yeah, ADK is a decent producer, he has good beats, he has shit ones, but even the good ones are semi-good, and aren't that amazing/incredible, just better than his decent beats. Skylar pretty much makes a lot of his beats stand out more due to her voice riding the beat well, to a degree. Rihanna really made the LTWYL beat sound way better than it actually was, which says something. At least I thought so.
I wouldn't mind hearing 1-2 of his beats on Em's next album this summer, & 1 Skylar feature.
