Like he used to give very interesting interviews when talking about his approach to songwriting (hooks, courting non-nyc crowds, etc).
I just think he thought the fans he cultivated when he hit mainstream success would stay with him no matter what. Ive got one friend who's got good music tastes overall and STILL rides or dies for 50. Thing is, even likable rappers like Snoop had to continually re-invent themselves.
