Do you mean "If he had stayed true to how they all started out" from a musical/artistic standpoint? Or you mean his attitude or whatever?

Just curious is all. I'm no hip-hop aficionado myself and don't claim to be, I'm an old school metal-head actually. But I loved Anghellic (Absolute power was decent) and thought he was one of the more creative and imaginative rappers out there who is not affraid to try new things. And the dude can straight flow. Also, one of the few rappers I've seen live that could actually "wow" an audience with his flows. He brought a lot to the stage, huge presence vs. say Eminem who can flow like a madman but he was boring live and had little stage presence. Great songwriter though, except for his last CD.

peace,
Ants
