Just a thought on the topic:
I was recently listening to the 8th Day song "Don't Forget" on the Brooklyn album (2007). I hadn't noticed it before but i'm pretty sure they were calling out Matisyahu for slipping from his stated mission(when his slide began to be really noticeable) . The lyrics;

"Don't forget from where you're from...

you once told them how it should be

now i see that they changed your sound

make you think you're some king with a crown

without your roots you're just fooling around..."

It seems they were right on target sadly (although it's debatable if this was their intent and if it was, if they chose an appropriate venue for mussor)

Thoughts?

Makes total sense according to Dan's timeline here: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=12310.msg907816#msg907816

The song was most definitely intended for him.

True. Though I don't pretend to know the amount of people he inspired when his album was #4 on billboard and songs like KWAC and One Day were everywhere.
I remember flying JetBlue and his KWAC music video was playing on the default channel on LiveTV.  Have pics of it somewhere.

I just think it's sad that he couldn't keep it together as he was able to for an impressive amount of time.

He was a druggie, and is a druggie.

At about 5:12 - "used to take the train in to the studio from CH with my gemoro, and I wouldn't wear my glasses in the streets so I couldn't see girls or the billboards..."

Quite a read. Shows how confused he was/is....
"once I wasn’t living in the basement of the yeshiva eating kapparot chicken."

Just to show how authentic this essay is, I know for a that the yeshiva that he Kearny in doesn't have any bedrooms in the basement, they are all above ground, though that yeshiva serves kapporos chicken all year.

And I'm sad that his daughter had to go for heart surgery, I hope she's doing okay.

On the bright side even though he has his daughter out of wedlock he was finally mekayim the mitzvah... It's his first daughter.
