...still obsessing over this issue a little bit.

I believe I owe you a bigger apology than I did previously, trying to see it from your point of view. (no pun).
I mean, I wouldn't walk up to a musician and say "Hey man, I really dig your music but maybe if you played less ballads and BTW, please stay away from that hip-hop vibe and I would like it even better but hey, it's only my opinion."

I don't know why I thought you as an artist would feel any differently. Again, my bad and again my sincere apologies.
