Dude, I know! I was all over Lese Majesty for a bit in 2014. Thought it might be a contender, at least for my top 10.
But I overdid it. Nobody else here was really into it and I lost interest after a while. I don't think I played it at all for the last few months of the year.
They are good though. In their adopted home of Seattle, WA, they're just friggin huge. I do sometimes get a bit irritated when people go on and on about how original they are. They definitely are extremely talented, and their records defy categorization, but I hear a lot of Anti-Pop Consortium influence in their music. And APC is an excellent and groundbreaking hip-hop group that has been overlooked and underrated by US audiences for the entirety of their career.
