How Does This Make You Feel?

I'm not gonna ask you to listen to the entire thing (though you should, there's some good stuff in here), but this is an interview with Plies the rapper/goon.  If you haven't heard his raps, then look him up.  He's been declared the "Future of Rap".  Observe his lyrics.  Listen to the grammar and content in his songs...

Now listen to this interview and PLEASE let me know how you feel about his speech during the interview.  He is VERY well-spoken, seems very intelligent, and appears to have a good head on his shoulders.  So much so that he seems to be the polar opposite of what he portrays in his lyrics?  Is this acceptable?  Or should he ALWAYS speak and act as a Goon should?  OR, is he not even a true Goon as a result of how he carries himself in this interview?  I'd like to know...

Observe.

Ive said this since Plies first album...to me he's like a new millenium southern version of Pac...if you study Pac you'll see that in his songs he wasnt that lyrical (oftentimes predictable) and he always found a way to make a commercially viable song but the majority of the album was talking about 'thugging' with a few songs that touched on socio-political issues...yet people felt him alot because of the passion when he rapped..on the flipside in his interviews Pac saw very articulate and showed alot of intelligence...the same goes for Plies..he has his commercial songs but alot of his albums are about 'gooning' and he likes to touch on socio-politcal topics (100 years, family straight, etc..) yet in his interviews it shows his real intelligence...its like the music is to get your attention but their real agenda is to spread knowledge thru interviews...if it worked for Pac it can work for Plies....
