I don't know him nor do I care. I judge artists by their art. Don't need to know anything about them outside that.
See, when people base their music off of "movements" and being "a man of the people", he is beholden to that.
He's an image guy.
Not the best technical rapper but sure presented himself as one. Once that lie was exposed on his debut, he went the "paid activist" route.
Ain't nobody thinking about his music any more. He's a PUBLIC FIGURE on a PUBLIC PLATFORM.
nikka blocked me rather than curse because he knows about Ohio nikkas from personal experience. shyt can go left.

So she was using him even then too, I don't see how niccas put themselves in this position, as always, if I don't see a road map to the kitten, I'm out

Res put three listenable songs in 10+ years, how does she earn a living, you know what nevermind

It dropped in 2001. I think Santigold was a producer/writer on that album too. You should check it out when you get the chance. ;)
Doc did some production/the best tracks on there, she specifically wanted to work with him after hearing/being a fan of Esthero's first album, notably the guitar work. Santi killed that album lyrically.

All artists need to stop signing people.. Im all for trying to get them a record deal somewhere, but let them sign directly to a label and collect a 1 time fee for it. Its just not worth the hassle.

You get disgruntled artists year after year after year.... shyt is a tired narrative.
