This guy is too smooth. Himself to the core. He talks without pretence or exaggerated stereotypical body movements. Doesn't use the N word or refer to himself as a street N or Real N word. Unapologetically himself. Very well grounded Being. Cormega is also the same. Respect due. Kids and adults need to look at this man as an example of how to conduct one's self in public and in private
