I said it once a week or so ago and i'll say it again...
Dude has THEE best R&B catelogue for any urban crooner from 2005 present.
His albums, plethora of mixtapes, bevy of features, remixes, b-sides, bootlegs and unreleased material is fukkin' insane.
Just on my ipod nano alone, got aboot nearly 200 tracks.
The songs he did with Diddy on Last Train was some next level shiit.
I actually enjoyed Fortune, obviously not as good as FAME/X but it's up there with Forever.
This is how i rate his catelogue
X
Fame
Fortune
Forever
Debut
Grafiti
X -Files, Boy In Detention, Fan of A Fan... all legit releases as well. Dude puts in work cuz his music is some of the most accessible/catchy but he gets introspective and deep on some joints too.
All his tribulations and dilemmas, you can hear it through his voice. He isn't particularly articulate but that's where his music speaks; his melody and harmony is his outlet.
His dancing is also an expression of his oppression from the media as well.
It's why i enjoy his music so much. His passion is fukkin' unparalleled.
