Ryan’s dumbass mad some obvious retarded moves

-simped Cassie hard and then brought her around Puff the magic Shark

-decided to be a singer despite below average singing skills. Still, his first album was piff

-Puff suppressed his career to oblivion and I’m sure told people don’t work with this guy or else

-“lost” his laptop and offered a million for it (bad idea) and the judge ruled against him once the computer was found

-started rapping instead of focusing on getting placements on albums just to keep his name in circulation. His raps were ehhh at best

-let time pass him by instead of getting on of these record label exec jobs

Ryan leslie is the book definition of smart dumb. Hes book smart, is educated in terms of school and may know how to play instruments but thats as far as it goes with the smarts. Hes real cocky too. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I havent heard anything from him that has impressed me. Him putting cassie on pretty much says what hes about. Dude literally helped water down r&b even further. So all this hype about him musically is bullshyt. I don't trust coli members generap opinions on r&b at all.

His downfall was and still is his ego. He thinks hes smarter or better than what he actually is. Eventually shyt happens to humble someone who's too full of themselves. I'd give him credit if he made a hot record or did something but I have yet to see that. I put him in the same list as the dream, Ron browz, the weeknd, akon, tpain and any modern singer/producer that is wack.

And Ryan Leslie is corny. I liked a lot of his music, crazy talented, but he could never overcome his corniness.

Essentially, he’s Drake without the backing. If he would’ve let behemoths like J Prince, Baby, and Lil Wayne dig their claws in early, Leslie would probably be one of the biggest acts in the game (multi genres).
Idk Ryan Leslie is even cornier than Drake. He’s basically Drake but add a more nerd/dork factor to it.

stop posting random bums on the internet opinion, why would kanye feel threaten by an R&B singer who doesn't have the same fan base as him or competes in the same genre as him, then convince him to rap which is HIS GENRE, in order to eliminate him has competition. Dumbest shyt I've ever heard.

Ryan Leslie is a talented musician, not an artist, it takes more than skill to be an artist, there's plenty of classical trained musicians who talented playing instruments doesn't make them an artist which is about self expression and creativity, so it's not a skill can that can be taught or practice

The situation explained in that Instagram post can happen to anyone, especially if you’re trusting of the people around you. Sounds like he thought he had friends in the industry but they had other plans for him...
