People really seem to be divided on Ya Boy. I think Ya Boy is best when he leaves the pop type rap alone. When he's rapping about the average shit that every other rapper raps about, he's average. But when he puts his mind on rapping about some real shit, he's stand out. His wordplay and similes were refreshing when he first came out. He still has that ability (100 Bars of Death if you don't believe me), he just doesn't rap like that enough.
