Food & Liquor was solid and showed some great promise, and The Cool was a great follow up in my opinion. Yeah, it's a bit more patchy than his debut, but there is some serious bangers on there. Some of the older heads who prefer traditional stuff really hate that it has that 'new jack' sound - lots of synth etc but that doesn't bother me in the least.
As for him being a wanker, i'm not really sure. From what i've read he seems to be a bit of a 'black nerd' - into skating and some prog music like Pink Floyd. On the other hand he has been involved with drug dealers and stuff. You don't know what to believe. I tend to separate the artist from the art anyway.
