I wouldn't call him disillusioned...cuz he waz right...Rap sucked. Everybody waz tryna be gangsta. Who can admire that?!? It looked like Hip-Hop didn't have a chance. It got a 2nd wind in '96 thru' A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Nas, Busta Rhymes, and so on...which motivated FP 2 come back...but since then it fell back in2 it's pattern of negative, foul-mouth, ignorant, cookie-cutter, greedy fools who get signed 2 big labels while the old skool, creative, and talented people suffer on small labels and nearly no chance 2 break out.
But FP has always stayed true himself and he's never fallen in2 a sell-out, trendy pattern of mainstream Hip-Hop. That's why he'll always be my favorite emcee.
