...Puba had no idea of what to do as a solo...but within BN he shined cause he had a struture to really work with...he had his own voice, and talked about alot of different things, but didn't know in which way he should go on his solo and i think many of those songs lacked the spark he usually brought to the BN joints and collabos he did....
