That's cause of his image. The whole "I've been shot and I survived" persona he's putting out there is what's selling his records. Add that to the good doctors sublime beats and you have a good recipe for success with a shocking after taste.

Remember that he was NOTHING before Dr. Dre took him. In fact his label dropped him after his first album cause he didn't sell anything... and after he was shot, they just let him go. That's when Aftermath got him... and now he's just feeding off of the whole scenario :biggrin:
