Imagine how it must feel to be really, truly great at something, at anything. Imagine operating at such a high level that what you're doing becomes its own sort of momentum, where your talent almost operates independent of you. Imagine feeling like you're just sort of watching yourself from the outside while something else takes over. Imagine feeling like you just can't stop. I've been making my living as a writer for 13 years now, and I've only felt that feeling a small handful of times. It's magical, and it's frustrating, too, since that feeling is such a rare and elusive thing. But there are people who just seem to be able to summon that feeling at will. And on his new album, DiCaprio 2, the Atlanta rapper J.I.D is one of those people.
