I still remember checking his website every day that summer in 2011 for Thursday.

Kiss land is his best work though. He will never get the credit he deserves for the brilliance of that album.

I would try to elaborate but it wold take me at least 5000 words to explain how great it is.

isn't he back working with the guy who produced those albums?

IMO, he did those and doesn't need to do them anymore. And that kind of music he did on those mixtapes won't sell the way his current music sells.

Just be happy you got 3 really unique albums for FREE.

i mean you're probably right. but that is classic shyt.

his stuff now isn't that bad. especially for pop.


plus the shyt he was dropping in summer 2014 had that sound. often and king of the fall were on par with the trilogy tracks. he's capable of it still, but why do it when you have the skills to be the biggest pop star on earth?

he doesn't have the skills for it. He had a good run last year but he's not about to go on a 5 year run as the biggest pop star on earth. He isn't even the biggest pop star on earth at the moment. Beyonce, Rhianna, Drake and Kanye are bigger pop stars.

breh he's bigger than drake. i agree with beyonce and rihanna.

idk about kanye either. dude been floppin for a while.


he still has the potential. i don't blame him for not boxing himself in. the audience for his old stuff isn't that big.
