It did absolutely nothing. I always felt bad for dude he got a raw deal from the fans and industry. It's one of the things I've come to hate about hip hop and the entertainment industry as a whole, like the whole building up of someone just to find someone or something to tear it all down. And the masses buy it, "hook, line and sinker ". Dude was selling like 3 million every time out he was dare I say it, bigger than Jay-Z at one point. Go back and look ppl was buying and jamming them albums. Plus he had the female game on lock. But that was the thing, if you're audience has too many women and something more masculine comes along and they like that more, then you're time's up
