Anybody who tries and say he sucks needs to go listen to some of his stuff. I haven't heard a good album from the bay in a while, and I'm a bay area fan. His album old is so much better than anything that's come come of the bay in a while. That includes 40's albums. I wouldn't be saying that if 40 worried about quality over quantity, and coming up with better hooks. I've been a huge 40 fan for the longest time, but his latest stuff isn't that great.
