    I think what makes Dom so impressive is that he manages to maintian his image and flow with an air of mysticism surrounding his progress. Like everyone, he has told his story in a fractured, beautiful fashion, but unlike the others, he feels closely guarded and protective of his identity. And i think that's pretty cool. You never fail to floor me Alfo, keep offering opportunity for opinion and theory 💙

    Funny you pretty much point it out clearly because To this day Dom and Joba are still my fave Brockhampton members for what they mean to me as a mentally ill person. Their different approaches both do different things for me and I appreciate them both existing in the same space together so much. They likely always will remain my faves and important people to me. The emotional honesty in everything Dom says on top of his top notch delivery is so admirable to me, but you're right he's got that protectiveness to him maybe because of his age or maybe just because he knows what the fuck he's about. I don't know, I just admire the guy as a person along with being a musician (Joba too).

    How dom writes his rap is how I write songs, as someone who has been in band for years it’s always been easier for me to create the beat and cadence and then pour out on top all my emotions. If you go emotions first sometimes you get too tripped up on getting it all out and not on the intricacies of writing.

    as a mentally ill person, dom's verse in HEAT is fucking amazing. the whole song has this angry feeling but the addition of the fear that dom adds to it makes the anger so much more real. anger is a secondary emotion after all. i relate to that verse so much and i find myself being irrationally angry pretty often for the exact same reasons dom writes about. and yet somehow dom's verses always feel so controlled and they dont feel like oversharing at all. i dont know how he does it. he's definitely tied with joba and merlyn as my favourite member right now
    edit: also dom's verse on sweet is my favourite and nobody talks about it enough >:( 'the original lick-splickety higher than yosemite' has been on repeat in my head for weeks
