After 2093 he tried putting himself out there more and he lost a lot of “aura” for lack of a better term.

i still don't really get that
he felt pretty fully formed way back on 4l n alive, i never felt any mystery - the 'aura' melted because he subscribed to 'concept' and stadiums like travis scotch tape

Speaking personally for me I didn’t know much about him or even really care beyond just acknowledging his music was hard

But I def agree with you in that 2093 being kind of ass shattered a lot of his perception too

i thought 2093 had this laziness to it like when kanye remixed don't like
just this precise cleanup job except then he also added the 'theatrical' outros to tracks almost like DLC
just overproduced s***
