Have you listened to his albums? He has quite a bit of anger. I suppose getting beat constantly by boyfriends that his whore of a mom brought home had a hand in it. Then, taking to the streets to find his own way. There really was going to be no positive outcome. Seems like he channeled a lot of it through rap and made some money, but yeah he has issues.
Indeed. I didn't even mention the fact that he filed for bankruptcy due to not being able to pay child support for his 12 bastard children. It's like he doesn't even care.
And no, I haven't listened to any of his albums. The only song I know by him is Party Up (Up in Here).
Yeah, he is a train wreck. I'd suggest listening to them, the man can pen some lyrics. Dark, twisted lyrics, but still quite good. Don't consider Party Up a representative work. If you are interested, some notable tracks are:
The Professional
Bring Your Whole Crew
Damien/The Omen/Damien III (a trilogy spanning a few albums, about his perceived fight with the devil)
