honestly sadly I feel like nowadays it's almost impossible to gain back a huge audience and get one last imperial phase once you f***ed up an entire album cycle. there's just so many other younger artists they'd rather listen to. it's so sad though because I know he has so much more potential than most new artists, if only he continued to get a huge label backing to put him on

ok but I think you're interpreting too much.

THAT THUMBNAIL

if only that was the worst part of it

Agreed by the time all that bullshit went down numerous acts have already taken his place in the mainstream, especially The Weeknd. I think he should collab with him along with newer acts and try to deviate from the usual Neptunes producers too, more Timbo would be cool too.

Unfortunately I doubt he'll regain the success he had before MOTW but can make himself somewhat relevant again...

At that point in career I feel like he had more than earned the right to experiment with a new sound. Unfortunately that Americana pop mixed with 808’s shtick when done by Pharrell sounds generally s***ty for the most part (although songs like Higher Higher, Breeze Off The Pond and Montana are incredible) and it was the first album where he had multiple misses

or you're slow.

I was just reminded how corny that "that girl" song was especially in contrast to that tweet
It's a song no one talks about...

The sound is literally a carbon copy of 60s black music and the topic panders to black people heavy.

Yet he can't acknowledge that he's appropriating black music cuz "we'RE AlL ThE sAme"

I couldn't get through it...

I stopped at "I lived in the ghetto and was nice to my neighbors"
or whatever the hell he was trying to say

Literally tryna rewrite history. That album and rollout was GARBAGE. JT rightfully got s*** for it. End of discussion.

i never liked the song anyways. what a clichéd sound. boring melody too.

breeze off the pond is my fav joint off of that album

damn that album really ruined this nigga

i don’t even think of him when ppl say JT anymore

s*** man it's really over for him, he's moving into Usher territory in terms of irrelevance. didn't help that he recently turnt 40. the pop stars of today are 22 max

as if everyone irl was like YO DID YOU CHECK OUT THE NEW JT 🔥

nah b

they did say that only 5 years prior. he was the s*** in 2013. like wtf happened.

he just washed

don’t think he coming back tbh

and I thought whole man of woods would be like that after fillthy was first single

Tends to work for solo artists more than it does for bands

bc superstar face value but still

It's easy to forget the OG JT when you got City Girl JT out here with her fine ass

KTT is a bubble

FSLS2 OTW

that album was just not very good
no clue what he was trying to do with it
reeked of being out of touch

so you’re calling people white for not liking justin timberlake trying to go country?
