Not saying Paak can share the same lane as Bruno (who killed about 2 or 3 other genres other than pop urban, which bruno is running now) hence what you are saying below...

>Bruno is who he is because The Smeezingtons spent years
>writing the hits for others (Wavin Flag, Right Round,
>Billionaire, Nothing On You).. and studying hits in general...
>he can deconstruct most top 10s from the last 40 years..

A machine with aftermath money and influence cannot get behind Paak with his appeal?? Chris Brown and Usher on a down glide now. But they seem like they aren't remotely trying to go for that funky-pseudo-retro vibe that Bruno is nailing. Paak could murder this but this industry is built for only one machine to push a sound like that.

>Add that to the fact that he was already a seasoned performer
>since he's been doing this shit since 5..

live performances...years in the game is vital, but at some point..you either got it or you don't. Paak DEFINITELY got it.

>You cant catch up.. You can be different..

>But you cannot get in his lane..

agreed, that's because Bruno can switch it up on the dime and get his non-urban money like started with...and it would be OK.
