Sorry to hear about the appraisal. Eesh.

He is a rapper. This song "crossed over". His other well known hit was "Mama Said Knock You Out"

And Going back to Cali was a cool song, with a heavy bass line. You probably heard the song bumping LOUD if you drove anywhere in the City.

"Technically" he was a rapper, but he was basically top 40. Mama Said Knock You Out (a great song) was also pretty well played by Kasey Casem.

To each his own. I can barely listen to two chords of country music without dry heaving. Some folk is OK. Some.
