No. The drums on this song are *vastly* different to the drums on Bryson Tiller's "Exchange" and J Coles's "Deja Vu." The controversy comes in where the drums for Cole and Tiller sound hella close.

Labels destroyed a lot of careers during that time, where there was way less independence to do your own music and sounds. Labels would often hold an artist hostage if they wouldn't to the demands of making hit records and formulaic and not letting their creativity flow freely. Yes, BS happens today with the industry, but when you can now be independent if you want today, that was less of an option back then and the record labels that ran everything used that as leverage to fuck over anyone that didn't fall in line.

Because his intelligence, his creativity, the way he carried himself...it just didn't make sense that one day in the midst of him blowing up he was in a train station rambling among other things ..he did try to make a comeback too years later producing beautiful songs for other artists though.

He was indeed a rap savant, however, mental health wasn’t talked about enough in the rap game at the time (or now).😊 He’s perhaps the first “high-profile” rapper to struggle in such a way (excluding addictions). I could go way further, and while he’s clearly way too gone at this point, I have a ton of respect (and sympathy) for him.
