2858724, It's the strangest thing.

He is the most successful artist working in a subversive way that I have ever seen. When you really try to put a handle on the vast subject matter of his writing....the lane he carved out in a 'cult of personality' type of way that he ran with from Tupac....

and then remember that he was the biggest pop star of the 00's....

It hasn't happened before. His lyrics are far superior to the only other subversive pop act that he could possibly compared to....The Beatles. But his artistry is entirely encapsulated in ONLY his lyrics, his writing. There's really nothing to him other than that.

And he's the biggest selling pop act (or anyone else) of the 00's.

It's an anomaly. He's an anomaly. The whole thing is just strange. People say it's because he's white. Hahaha. People wanna know what he is gonna say. It's a cult of personality with real heart and soul in the writing.
