This generation of fans does the art form an injustice when artist are held to weird (not even high, just plain weird) expectations. Do you know how many sounds and different vibes artists like Stevie Wonder, Prince, MJ, etc went thru and experimented with? The fans are the ones holding hip hop back! And now I find myself in a thread defending an obviously talented artists before his FIRST major DEBUT! Too many cats wanna front like they have supreme hip hop knowledge and they are the standard bearer for what's good or not. Let the album sink in first. We've heard a fraction of the songs on the album, and yet we're debating the direction he is taking on this album. Weird....
