Will can either make a movie that breaks records at the box office, or record an album that struggles to go Gold..
Sadly, it's hard to sell in Hip Hop these days. It's hard to get a hit. That's what most of "Lost and Found" was about. The album could be the best album he's put out in 20 years, and it'll still be hard for him to sell...The fact that record Sales are dropping, coupled with the state of the Hip Hop...I think he realizes it might not be worth it right now..
Meanwhile...His movies will ALWAYS do good. He's a great actor. People are waiting for his next movie. People are excited when a new one is announced...
He KNOWS the movie will do good...He HOPES the album will do good...
As much as I want new music from him..I kind of understand. Hip Hop has gotten to the point where he's accomplished almost all he could, by no fault of his own...He can still grow as a musician, but it's harder. He spells that out in "I wish I Made That", and "Lost & Found"...
I don't know, that's the way I see it...You know he still loves music, but he has to focus on what will give him the most success RIGHT NOW...And that's acting...
As a fan of his music, I don't like it...But I can respect it.
