VIMTV Episode #280: Ghostpoet – Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam

Jake: Not Recommended, 57/100

Tom: Recommended, 80/100

Overview: Another one of Jake and Tom’s big disagreements: Tom thinks the originality and mood in the production is a great step forward for hip-hop, while Jake is bothered by the slurred, mushy presentation of the vocals and the lack of quality songwriting. Regardless of who you side with, this is certainly a different take on the rap genre; the key will be whether or not you like the direction Ghostpoet is taking it.
