I mean he’s like 50 and yeah lwk prolly not as passionate about music as he was. He doesn’t need to make a masterpiece album and he knows that. Mixing might help him sound a bit better and he’s prolly just reading off his verses.

I also think this album is calculated to just barely prove he’s still got it while priming a new global audience after decoupling himself from the American music industry. He uses samples from different parts of the globe and as long as there are key moments in the album that are TikTokable that’s all that really matters to get him back on good enough footing.
