I was just about to email you about Devin's new album. It was mentioned in this article in the Houston Press (since he's on Rap-A-Lot), and the same article also predicts that the H-town rap scene has peaked with Weird Al covering Chamillionaire's "Ridin' Dirty."
The more I hear Gervis talk the more I am convinced of Gervis as David Brent. He can be so self important, talking about "my work" and the inner workings of his character on "Extras".
I mean, part of what made Brent so funny was that he was putting on this "ideal boss" facade. It seems that Gervis is constantly putting on this "ideal artist" facade
I think you're right, in a way, Jordan. That said, I think he really is committed to directing credit to his influences and doing good work. Which is very admirable, I think.
