Comparing rapper's old vs new style from @freedrugsxo

The creator analyzes the dramatic musical evolution of the rapper Desiigner. He first plays a clip of Desiigner's well-known mumble-rap style from his song "Timmy Turner" to establish a baseline. He then contrasts this by playing a new clip where Desiigner is rapping in a lyrical, boom-bap style, after which he expresses his strong approval for the change and asks his audience whether they prefer the old or new version.
