@ fruity black gurl who is u tellin he so damn sexy

[SolidSnakeRules]

hes the only rapper that uses a bunch of ebonics in regular speech then speaks perfect english in his raps

[Aphoresis]

Yep, that's the old school mind set.

I can be street on my spare time, but when i speak to the kids on record i have a social responsibility.

Ever see the clip of him talking to Nas about beating people up in the street with a heavy gold medallion lol.

But he is never going to advocate anything like that in a song because he knows his responsibility.

it's the complete opposite of what rappers do now. They actually make up bad stuff they DIDN'T DO and put it in songs to give children.

[catwalk38]

yea if this album goes fucked by the new wack rappers out even with emienm king mathers if that shit goes fuckign aminstream liek bs i would start slitting my wrist

[killahandkillah]

wu tang 4 life

[crayyawn]

if i hear some gay club beats on his album it will definitely be the marking of hip hop's death. i just hope he keeps it real and raw

[hobonciv]

or me might evolve club tracks, and youll get a flood of lyrical club rappers dropping.

[fruityblack]

Damn thank you for uploading this to hear he is going to have his own lable brings me to tears finally the man will bless us with his music again! I am so happy he will be back and on his own!

[fruityblack]

The man is still fine as hell
