Before I knew what this guy was 'all about', I had this wrong illusion that he was just like any other rapper, good with his mouth but had nothing whatsoever to say.. Today, I have a much different perseption about him. In my opinion, he is definitely one of the talented out there, and he's more than 'just a rapper'. The fact that he's dead however, did not 'hit me' until last year when asking one of my friends when his next CD would come out. Such a shame how someone as talented and "lyric-gifted" as he was, was to 'fall away' in such an early age. Not only did he write A LOT, but a lot of what he wrote at the same time had a 'message'. He also published the book "The rose that grew from concrete".. For some weird reason I still haven't got to that book, but I am actually right now at this very second ordering the book online! I've heard it's one of the greatest, and is definitely not a waste of time. This guy is to many 'still alive', because of everything that's left of him in his work and many accomplishments.
