Was his music popular in the Top 40 pop charts? I was still listening to pop stations then and don't remember him. I like this song. He had a good voice. Now THAT kind of rapping, I enjoy.

He had a few top 40 hits, but most of his singles fared better on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts.

So sad he had to go so young. I remember being little and the older teenagers jammin to "We Got Our Own Thang" and "Nuttin But Love".
