His image was starting to take a strange turn, by the 3rd album he had O-Dog braids and the weed head purple lips. He just wasn't cool anymore. Plus content wise most of the big records from the 2nd album were too way too sexual, where was he going to go after that?

Here's the 1st video off of his 3rd album to refresh your memory

Voice was still great, the song was good, but neither of those things mattered enough when it came time to market the project.
