I think it was mostly around the time I started being active on Twitter and made the mistake of following artists/celebs I liked not yet realizing following artists/celebrs whose work you're into is the worst thing you could do, because you realize you like their output but not their day to day thoughts. Anyway, 9th would tweet/promote Rapsody like every single day and it just turned me off of her without really giving her a real listen outside of a few songs that, while not bad, didn't warrant all the hype IMO.

Then last year I finally gave her a real listen, and Eve blew me away. Finally got around to checking out her other material and Laila's Wisdom is just as good. Those two are in my top 15, maybe even top 10 of the decade for sure.
