    By translating the reverence toward his idols into his own talents instead of living in the past, Apathy continues to earn his keep in a genre that he feels is losing its way.

    In full, Honkey Kong marries aggressive wordplay and classic beats and the results are universally good.

    He's versatile enough in writing ability to cover any topic from somber to silly, he's clever enough to make what he has to say worth rewinding to catch, and he's not that bad behind the boards as a producer either

    As always, Apathy wins on account of the metaphors he spatters across tracks like so much blood, sweat, and tears.

    Despite a few redundant tracks and a lack of cohesion, Honkey Kong paints a good picture of the impressive output Apathy is capable of in 2011.
