I haven't been a consistent fan over the years but I listen to him here and there
But to me he's always been a meme since "give me an apartment and some water I can swim"
But I agree, it's different now that he's in his 40's. He blew up later that most rappers though. Been about 12 or 13 years, but his age makes it seem longer in a way
Maybe he'll start making a pivot into a different direction. If juicy j can make a jazz rap album then who knows what the future holds
Not for nothing future isn't the type of rapper where switching lanes would give him any sort of benefit.
N he did do a damn near "RnB" album more or less previously
