I don’t want to get into a whole argument about him here, so I’ll just say that I’m having a harder time separating the art from the artist and am taking it as an opportunity to expand my horizons.

I love that his music feels larger than life. Genuinely interesting beats with way more creativity than 90% of the other stuff I hear. The big echoing choir vocals get me every single time. Honestly, I miss listening to him more as a producer than a rapper.

Who else can I check out that might scratch that itch?
