Papoose‘s 2010 Obituary could have easily have gone the route of the insincere. Instead it’s a calm recognition of the legitimate talents that were lost in 2010, much as 2010’s 2009 Obituary was for that year.
We’re used to hearing about dead celebrities in media, but hearing it from an artist, with woven-in personal connections, makes it so much more sincere than a Us Weekly article could have ever been. This is clearly not just celebrity worship.
Papoose raps smoothly over a poorly recorded acoustic guitar, but this was never intended to be a club banger anyways. It’s a mellow song that’s well worth the listen.
