He had an early-Pantera white boy rap career in the ’90s before Devil Without a Cause, his major-label debut in 1998 when he became a rap-adjacent-metal superstar. Almost like his entire persona after the 1990s is manufactured. Maybe he was just never a wigger to begin with but grasped on to that scene to stay relevant.
