Rapping so eloquently while playing the guitar is not easy, it takes a genius like John Forte to do so.

I really didn't like the old material that John Forte was doing but this new stuff is something like I've never heard before.... I totally enjoy his new material I just wish he would come & play in Detroit Michigan but unfortunately that probably won't happen... I'll just have 2 go somewhere & watch him deliver his masterpiece of his newfound genius!!!!!
