Yeah this is spoken word alright. I’ll pay my respects to the great jazz in the background, but to be honest, it’s the worst mix between a podcast and a song. It’s not music and shouldn’t be classified as such. The “singer” sings at some points in the album, so why can’t he just sing the whole damn thing? If I wanted to listen to a smoker with lung damage spouting nonsense to a bunch of other smokers with lung damage, I would go to a homeless camp.
