I realize we're in an era where being genuine isn't really an issue, and I don't care about it as much as I did when I was a wide-eyed youth who thought 2Pac shooting a cop was the coolest thing in the world, but it's nice to see a rapper who is as real as his lyrics.

A dude who's had that street life, and doesn't glorify it. Who did the jail time all the rappers talk about, and says it's not a place you want to be.

Plus, I'm a sucker for underdogs making it.

The same reason I fucks with Glasses Malone.
