Potholes in My Blog[9]

Ali Elabbady of Potholes in My Blog gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, commenting that "The production is definitely a highlight" and "Mike's performance is definitely noteworthy as well."[9] Blake Gillespie of Impose called it "the finest representations of taxonomic boom bap rap".[8] Kevin Jones of Exclaim! said, "Quirky, laid-back, slice-of-life rhymes littered with wide-ranging pop culture references bounce from the absolutely banal to the surprisingly political, like the no day-job dreams of 'I Rock' juxtaposed with the corrosive blaxploitation denunciations heard on 'Unapologetic.'"[7]

gollark: That would require a ton of manual moderation anyway, probably.
gollark: My python/JS projects work *perfectly fine*, because nobody uses them.
gollark: Mine's got 4 cores too.
gollark: You know, you *can* probably partition the CPU use somehow.
