isn't what he's doing worse, putting out sub-par material, and people like myself who grew up as his career progressed keep supporting his projects because of the strength of earlier work.
Look at the progress of his music
can i borrow a dollar: a couple of strong songs, foot in the door, career took off after the soul by the pound remix
resurrection: classic
one day it'll all make sense: classic
like water for chocolate: classic, and i contend the greatest production ever (soulquarians)
electric circus: appreciate the artistic integrity, but the skills could have been sharper, and we have pharell entering the picture
be: stronger mc skills, okay album, kanye enters the picture, simplified lyrics, formula type album, radio friendly
finding forever: okay album, mostly kanye, be part 2, its the same album
UMC: garbage: all pharell, no skills
The downward trend is obvious, what happened
