But that's his problem everything about him is just ehh.

This here.

He's definitely not wack, but there's nothing special about him. His best shyt was back in 2014 with Black Rose. He seemed way more focused and hungry back then. Problem with a lot of newer artists is that once they get in the door, they get caught up in trying to do what they think is "the thing" to do for acceptance. So he's basically dumbed his shyt down to appeal to a wider audience, and it's got him to the point where he's making a lot of forgettable music. There's nothing standing out about what he's doing, so he's lost a lot of the steam that he picked up a few years ago. The direction is all off.

He’s not garbage, he just has no idea who he wants to be. One day he’s a sex symbol model, then he’s a trapper, then he’s a homage paying storyteller. A lot of his projects remind me of various Jadakiss albums where it seems like he’s trying to satisfy everybody instead of just sticking to what he’s best at or most comfortable doing.
