Floyd never embraced being a dummy though. Arrogant, flashy, the bad guy, etc. yes Floyd embraced all of that but a dummy he never embraced that.
Most people think folks who stutter a lot are dumb, stupid or retarded. Floyd in most interviews I've seen of his stuttered a lot. So that helped with that peoples thought process of Floyd being dumb a long with the shit 50 said and did. Let's not forget that tape of Floyd trying to read that promo was extremely fucked up.
I never thought Floyd was dumb but I also didn't expect to speak so clearly without stuttering in this interview. I honestly thought Floyd had stuttering problem cause he did it so much.
