    Like I don't normally s--- on rappers just for their music, I respect everyone to an extent but this guy is pretty much openly a piece of s--- and his music is bad. The s----s not good.

    I use 'popular' very broadly, He's not popping but we all know who he is

    I've bumped into people in my area (I'm from NY) that messes with his music but it's certainly regional. There are redeeming qualities (production + getting star features) but he's just not my cup of tea overall outside of the Bada$$ diss :banderas:

    It's ironically fitting for Troy's own career "Don't knobody cares!"

    Guy only sold like 4 copies of his debut album.

    He's only popular because of The Breakfast Club, that's it. Nobody f---s with his s--- beyond that.
