I said this would be an incredible album before it dropped…then watched as many people overlooked it on their year end wrap up lists…and now we continue to see dope visuals drop for the Distant Relatives project. I’m convinced that when people look back on it years later, they’ll finally give it the respect it deserves.
Incredible new visuals from Nabil Elderkin and the Distant Relatives. “Patience” is found on one of two albums Lupe mentioned as his favorites of 2010 in our interview, and I must agree. I remember hyping this album up and then being surprised when people didn’t generally rank it as high as I did. It’s going to go down as one of the more underrated projects of the last decade.
Sidenote: how salty does Kanye have to be after seeing this? Nabil is virtually his in-house director and he was sitting on this gem that would have been perfect for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy aesthetics…
