He's definitely nice. Real nice. His delivery is one of the best ever, and his voice is so unique that even if he's coming bogus on the song, it's still listenable. The only reason he got the tag of doing too much R&B type hooks and songs is from 9 Lives which he recorded under MoTown. MoTown...of course it's gonna be R&B laden from front to back. Their producers don't know shit else. But I'd say definitely check out all of his albums. Doe or Die's a classic. Pieces of a Man I was really feelin', but a lot of heads didn't. Can't say that I've heard much of S.O.S.A. and good luck finding a copy of it. I didn't like 9 Lives, except for 2 or 3 cuts and Aziatic is a decent listen. You can check out the Firm too even though it was a humongous flop. There's a couple songs on it that those 4 managed not to fuck up.
