He was a little too prolific in my opinion. I always respect the hustle, of course ... but I think an artist like him would've been way better served tightening up his catalogue a bit and not saturating us with album after album, collab after collab. I found it difficult to keep up with his work and kinda stopped checking for him because of that. While that may be a personal deficiency more than a legitimate knock on the artist, I've heard multiple people express similar feelings so I think it's got some basis in truth.

Beyond that - obviously I hope he got the help he needed and is doing better mentally .... music takes a backseat to his mental health.
