Long Island, New York (Reuters) -- James Dick is trying to move on after living the high life as a rapper.

A year after being dropped from the controversial rap group Niggasville, N. Massapequa resident James Dick says he still considers himself to be one of the rap group's biggest fans. Which is a sharp contrast to how other people ocnsider the man formerly known as JDiggz. Hip-Hop heads in the NYC rap scene, the same people that once bopped their heads to his catchy rhymes on the 'Da Club Joint.' from Niggasville's first release, now consider him a 'coward', 'not real' and 'nuthin but a wanksta.'
