    Clearly he is now on a journey to create a piece of art that is deeper than his music video for All Over The House. This painting is profound but he still has some way to go before he can reach the levels he once achieved with that beautiful and compelling video from 2011.

      There is a difference when you can say proudly that you have accomplished some things and you are one of the greatest. There is a difference between I am the greatest and being one of the greatest and that’s what he said. He deserves to be able to say that about hisself. You are taking it the wrong way.
