Ok RT, I'll grant that he might not have been "technically gifted," as I put it, but I will say that he was "technically capable," and I know he had a fair amount of classical, formal, and informal training, which is more than can be said of others who were more outwardly pianistic, such as Hampton Hawes.

I don't really have an opinion on whether Migos are the Thelonious Monk of nu-rap but I'm enjoying the raccoon pictures, all future ilx socks should be obligated to take the name of a cute animal to facilitate this kind of thing

I made a rough draft of a checklist of characteristics the Thelonious Monk of rap would have:
1. Other rappers and critics think they can't rap, but they're actually very technically gifted. Their early works attest to the fact that they can rap straight.
2. Has a hard-to-detect sense of irony in the formal aspects of their performance rather than simply in the text of their lyrics.
3. Subverts rhythm and flow in off-kilter, sometimes subtle ways.
4. Melodically inventive.
5. A handful of well-regarded verses and hooks are "borrowed" from others or otherwise have a murky provenance.
I'm open to revisions and additions.

"The trio has such a fervent following after their steady stream of mixtapes that memes exist boasting that Migos are better than the Beatles. "Why wouldn't it be better than the Beatles?" Offset said. "They're legends, but we're legends too now. Quavo was just saying he wanted to meet Paul McCartney, so nothing against them. But they saying we better, so it is what it is."

I don't get these dudes. I couldn't even finish listening to "Versace". I'm all for lyrical minimalism but when they do spit a line it just doesn't connect with me. It seems the young kids of today are into some seriously questionable stuff. Like Drake and J. Cole. To me it is corny and lightweight. But these are the artists capitalizing financially on the styles laid down by the true groundbreaker MC's. And these Migos guys jacked both Mac Dre and Ol' Dirty's fashion steaze. That's ok. It just ain't nothing new. I worry about this generation of kids. I am getting older but the stuff they like pretty much suuuckz. 11 million plus views for"Versace". Who the heck finds that song inspirational or groundbreaking? Riff Raff owns the use of "Versace" as an adjective, btw.

like something can be good without needing to be the X of Y, right?
I don't want to overstate things or speculate too much about motivations, but talking about rap in this way almost feels like some kind of "respectability politics", ya know? Do Migos need to be brought "up" from one level to another?
You can plug anything into this schema. Like so:
Sunn O))) are the Mark Rothko of metalAutechre are the Agnes Martin of electroTinashe is the Paul Gaugin of R n B Ashtray Navigations are the Wassily Kandinsky of guitar noise
etc.
I get that that can be done well or poorly, but it's resting on shaky ground- is my Rothko your Rothko? Do you mean "bright" or "simple" or "suicidal" or "focused" or "minimal" and so on.
