the white people's/mainstrean's dumbed-down version of mos def or chuck d.
he is a better rapper than 50 Cent, but that obviously means shit. He is an ok producer when he doesnt have those annoying-ass sped up samples. As a rapper, he is very, very average, and basic. Although this may seem like i have a negative opinion about him, i dont, he has produced some great songs (ex. get by, guess who's back, heartbeat), but as you may notice, none have him rapping, because his wannabe mase flow unfourtanetly doesnt equate to classic. And oh yeah, who said hes derived from 2Pac & biggie is an idiot, because they talked about crack/guns/bitches/etc. (although early 2Pac was socially-conscious, where one could easily see his chuck d/public enemy influences).
