shut up kid

[JurisicSantiago]

@TheGreatMozeek Keep listening Lil Wayne and shit like that. Let's have some talk when actual rappers make something real with their gangsta rap, drug, sex, booty bitches songs.

[TheGreatMozeek]

@JurisicSantiago Dude I meant this song was not FUNNY. I LIKE Kurtis Blow.

[TheGreatMozeek]

@JurisicSantiago I meant it wasn't FUNNY because he's talking about hard times. I wasn't dissin'. I'd rather listen to him than some of today's crap.

[JurisicSantiago]

@TheGreatMozeek Ok man, my bad, cya

[wutzupmyboy]

The illest

[KingofWisdom]

Classic hip hop is so refreshing to listen to. It's a shame that the hip hop coming out today is nothing but "gangsta rap," dealing with sex, drugs, and a whole bunch of swear words.

[qoncept2]

It's relevant again..! Play this in the club tonight.

[hardkorz]
