Never really got into 40 execpt a few songs here and there.
I'm pretty much like that myself. No disrespect to 40, but the songs I like from him is mainly because of the hooks. Except for his first 5 releases.
A lot of his newer material is simply for collection purposes. The "Revenue Retrievin'" & "The Block Brochure" albums had a few gems, but not full fledged classics. A few hit singles, but in 40's defense that's pretty much the music biz today. Only difference is he's dropping 2 or 3 albums at one time, but it's still not enough quality material to wake up & shake the game.
