You gotta at least read the article breh.

Im nott saying I disagree with you, but his music style did defintiely switch up drastically since when his career began back in 2011.



For the past few years he's been riding the Michael Jackson/James Brown impersonation (with a motown sound full of black musicians and back up dancers) to the bank.

A few weeks ago some kid told me he was the "New Prince" and I almost lost it.

Yeah the shyt stings seriously. Like you have artists like Moonchild and friggin Hiatus Kaiyote reviving the neo soul movement, while our singers still singing the same club tunes.

Priorities are seriously fukked up

He started his career on a BOB single

He started his career on a BOB single

1. that wasnt his song.

2. BOB was about as pop as as it gets back then for a rapper.

And features on rap songs don't matter. All Bruno's early solo songs/hits weren't like uptown funk or the music he's consistently been creating since 2015.

 

[Standing on business]

He's not guilty of it but I do believe he knows how to play both sides

He the black music is the reason for most artists nowadays and he always shows love so I don't think so
