Honestly his scandals and my personal feelings about his aside...
He really lacks in iconography. No iconic albums, videos, performances or songs really. What's his Purple Rain? What's his Thriller? What's his Beychella? Confessions? Umbrella?
Shit what's his Hotline Bling?
Having a job/career where you talk and communicate nonstop with humans, people truly have to understand that sometimes you just wanna be quiet outside of working.
