T is a good representative for hip hop culture. He speaks well and reps for rap and hip hop... a lot of these new ignant rappers would do well to take note.
He may be a pioneer of gangsta rap but he also shows that you don't have to keep it self-defeatingly real and you can be successful by showing that you're more than a one dimensional stereotype.
I'm sure a lot of that has come with age and maturation but no doubt, it's good to see him taking this onto a bigger stage with a little class.
