i was into him years ago back when he was still real small, he would play bars and small venues and well...i dug it...i tried listening to his recent shit (whatever he's released since 98 or so) and i couldnt quite get into it...but he is definitly talented no matter what part of philly he comes from...we should all waste our breath on more important issues like jessica alba's boobies and who's the bigger wigger etc. etc...
