    “ as soon as his producers changed so did the image “

    Illangelo produced on after hours and BBTM and trilogy

    Doc produced on starboy and trilogy

    Where you going with this argument ?

    Trilogy was the work of 2 producers for the most part (on the surface level lol) & Abel. His whole "not showing my face"/"not doing interviews" thing fit in with the mysterious Tumblr aesthetic. It fit the sound they created. (Google Jeremy Rose btw he created most of the "image" & sound. Doc & Illangelo just ran with it and made a great project). When the producers started to change, so did the image. Kiss Land, produced by mostly the same producers track by track - but so different to what Doc & Illangelo created.

    Then he blows up with a few songs from BBTM - which all leaked months and months in advance if you remember. For public opinion, to see whether the style was worth going with. Or if something else was more marketable. Different producers on every song, few familiar faces, now he's doing interviews, going for a new sound altogether... it's a mess.

    He's a creation. Not true to his image for even 2 whole albums. Not saying his music is or ever has been bad. But it's a messy pop creation at this point. Nothing about him is consistent.

    doing interviews and going for new sounds doesnt make someone a mess

    he just likes to create a new character for each album and a sound that goes with it. he doesnt need to make trilogy or kiss land type of music since he isnt that same person anymore.

    Yea I get that, but my point is he did that well for a while. But BBTM onwards, it was less about "a new character & sound that goes with it", but more about what was gonna sell well - partnered with a "new image".

    Wtf is this mess

    Yeah I’m aware with how those mixtapes came together thank you

    The fact that those same producers have continued to collab with him on music that sounds completely different to the mixtapes, completely destroys this weak point you’re trying to make

    Yea show me where any of them made a straight up pop album?

    He works with Max Martin now lmaooooo he is literally THE pop music producer of all the other pop music creations. Look at his production discography.

    what are you even talking about

    each album since bbtm has been completely different

    dude dropped a 6 song EP out of nowhere with no promotion, how is that focused on whats "gonna sell well" lol

    should he have screeched like a dolphin like fiona apple did on her album?

    Yes. His writing should be as poetic as Shakespeare and have 100 possible interpretations per line. I expect Genius.com to write a book about the album. I expect Pulitzer Prize quality winning lyricism. I accept no less from artists sorry!
