I never really seen the hype. Some people talking like he was some misunderstood musical genius but the music didn't really add up to that.
There was maybe the makings of something kinda interesting with a lot more polishing but there wasn't really anything he excelled at.
Comparing him to that generation of post-Kanye style artists he never really figured it out. He wasn't lyrical like a Lupe, wasn't especially marketable or had a hitmaking ability like a Drake, didn't have a very definable aesthetic like Cudi (that Sonic shyt was

),he was aight as a producer but most of them beats sounded half baked as hell, couldn't write a song like K.R.I.T.
There was not one thing that really stood out about him. Even someone like Blu does that whole lo-fi style shyt way better. I don't think he's some what could've been artist.
