Styles P's third solo full-length, Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman), is a mixture of synth-heavy hardcore rap -- with enough gun and drug references to satisfy the hardest of all listeners -- and more soul-sample-driven contemplative hip-hop. The Phantom's a self-professed thug bragging about his toughness throughout the entire record. But he's also quite thoughtful, conscious of his and his music's image, and tries his best to address this. It's this type of careful reflection that separates the MC from most of his contemporaries, and makes tracks which explores racism. SP never pushes too far in one direction so that he creates an unbelievable persona; instead, he's multifaceted, both cocky and aware of his faults, introspective and angry, and so even when things get a bit repetitive, or even miss.
