independent is cool when people are buying your music, who is listening to his shyt? i haven't heard anyone talk about his music or drop links for his songs since his album in 2009

He's super creative, and I dig his beats for other people, but I just can't buy into him as a rapper. Struggle bars by the boat load on that new album.

just because you or people you know don't check for his music doesn't mean others don't

dude, i'm all over the internet looking for and discussing music, this isn't a "me and my friends" thing :shaq2:

nikkas was talking about him hard in 08-09, i don't see that anymore, so again, who is buying his music, especially his rap? his album in 09 was dope, but the follow up was wack.


and i agree with the other poster, dude should produce/write for others, help bring r&B back

I dont think he's sold much on his own, but I'm sure he's cashing producer checks still. and he can write songs as well.

dude is like a genius tho. graduated from harvard at age 19.
