"I think he should be right up their with Martin Luther King but a little below him because of his criminal activities."

I love the guy, I don't think of him as a black prophet, but as a man who could bring the emotion out of a song... I haven't heard every song he sang, but those that I have heard, I like.

If I had to choose, black prophet, Because the word "Gangsta" gets through around a lot these days.
