I didnt buy into OF either and i quite like Bigg Jus"s solo stuff i need to go back to that 2nd NMS album cause i didnt like it as much as the first one(why people didnt give a shit obviously race plays into it but also i think people took it that El-P was the brains of the 3 that and in a way Def Jux was more palatable and had a brand all its own where as Jus was doing shit with no name producers and Orko the Sykotic Alien who unless you go deep into that vein of LA rap nobody cares about that guy)
Jus is a weird comparison cause he was almost willfully dense and i find it interesting you say that anybody could do this when i feel like that was always kind of the complained leveled at Juss"s kinda rap in the sense that you have a atonal beat spout a bunch of gibberish that mixes cartoons conspiracy theories and a couple jabs at Time Warner and people would hold you up as a lyrical god.
Its funny cause ive seen one or two people bring up Ariel Pink in regards to MIKE and maybe in that low grade faded sample production style its there but otherwise theres nothing there linking the two imo
i feel it comes across that way because theres a ton of people on bandcamp who have done some varieant of that "wave" style
