40’s enemies think they have him figured out based on his exterior appearance or the way he raps, but little do the know what he is really about!

This also extends to the rap community overall since to this day many people write 40 off as a goofy, glasses wearing, “strange” rapping dude. But those who know him closely, especially in the Bay Area hold him in high esteem.
