* Sampling:

* DarkerAndEdgier: After the domestic abuse incident, he can't be the fresh-faced ChildPopstar anymore, his music and videos started getting more explicit with frequent cursing and references to drugs, along with him rapping more often. Every album since F.A.M.E., his first album way removed from the Rihanna incident, has had a parental advisory label.

* GenreShift: His first three albums were firmly in the contemporary R&B genre; after his domestic abuse incident, the music started edging more into the HipHop territory with R&B sensiblites.
* HotterAndSexier: His music has gotten more explicit with sex. The first track on the ''Royalty'' album (the album dedicated to his ''daughter'') is a IntercourseWithYou song sampled from Music/MarvinGaye.

* DarkerAndEdgier: After the domestic abuse incident, he can't be the fresh faced ChildPopstar anymore, so he slowly morphed into a rapper with his music and videos getting more explicit with frequent cursing and references to drugs. Every album since F.A.M.E., his first album way removed from the Rihanna incident, has had a parental advisory label.
