I never saw the hype about his work. I don't think it's hating to say that, because I don't really care one way or the other, but I always thought it was weird that he got so much attention.
There are plenty of kinds of art where sampling from others work could be viewed as legitimate, but with SF is always seemed like a dumbing down, mass market version of whatever he was borrowing from, never any real twist to it or insight.
Basically what he is is a really good marketer/ business guy.
