I dont respect him as an artist because hes disrespectful as fukk towards hip hop and rap as a whole. Ive seen this man for the past 15 years literally shytting on hip hop/rap yet at the same time, trying to use it to promote his bullshyt which isnt even rap/hip hop. He also cant sing and he cant rap. He literally created some bullshyt where he basically mumble raps one second then is singing horribly the next minute to weird ass beats. Then he has the audacity to act all arrogant, insulting the rap community like hes better than us and doing us a favor when he isnt at all. In fact, hes been a negative ass influence. Got these new rappers mumbling and singing. I would say hes ushered in a new level of wackness.
Dude needs to do his little alternative rock or pop and stop claiming hip hop. Im convinced him and drake are trojan horses that are basically out to destroy hip hop and gentrify for white people to take over like jack harlow. If we are being real, dudes albums are trash.
Its shyt like this that made me realize he really has no business claiming to be hip hop. A tribe called quest, de la soul, mos def, common, pharcyde and how many acts made a lane for his bytch ass to talk shyt and be dismissive towards as if hes the only one that hasnt made music about guns, drugs, and etc
