saw him in a recent interview... dude was a mess. well, compared to what he used to be. sad and angering to see him as such, but he has most certainly earned his spot in the "kingdom of heaven".

although i have heard the "cain is in the building" intro on some of his songs, plus he is super mainstream, so i would think he's "workin for the man" to one degree or another, but pretty sure most talented artists that make it to the mainstream have too, whether they know it or not.

take matisyahu for example, his first album, shake of the dust arise was amazing and almost completely novel, now he sounds like hes workin with lady gaga.
