Let me explain a little more. I was introduced to the record by a couple of girls that I was close friends with in high school. I really liked the record. As some years passed, I started to think that the songs were a little trite, and that the lyrics didn’t hold up very well over time. It seemed dated to me.
I really started to dislike him after he had made a fortune and decided that he was a devout Muslim and started speaking out against gay people. At that point I realized that he was indeed a phony. I hope that clarifies things.
