But admittedly my ears weren't very mature at that time so it took me growing up a little bit musically to appreciate it for its brilliance.

So when I revisited it later in high school I was blown away, too. Agree with your assessment that it's like a DLS album with other rappers haha.

Don't think he writes but someone in the other thread mentioned how DLS left Paul after BMS cuz he was he was too controlling, for lack of a better way to put it. I'd never heard that before but it would lend credence to your question above, and would make it sound to me that it would be the latter of your two possibilities.
