I aint trippn about what he used to sound like..who he sounds like now..where he was from...just like a few others including keke loco..Lil half dead...they actually all grew up in gardena...but that my ears dont discriminate..i personally dont own his c.d. but have a mixtape,and he is far from garbage..he can definatley rap.When I first heard him I thought i was listening to B.I.G.,but I actually think he is as good if not better...just needs..different..(not better cause he had rodney jerkins on the beats)) production for most of yall to appreciate him
