In the music world, the sophomore slump is a well-established jinx.

In particular, Im sad to see Gaddis go so soon.
Chris Rock was interesting casting for the part.
That being said, last years premiere seemed to promise an epic battle between brothers that never quite materialized.
Everyone feels a little more lived-in in this premiere, but I hope things progress further.
Welcome back,Empire.
