[cursedswordsman]

lol, if you think any of this bullshit is better than rick ross's then you are clearly a nostalgia puppet. This burns my ears.

[Icemanbk]

u think rick ross is betta than this u must b retarded smh

[KCpro15]

[manfocused]

I used to hang out with his brother when his brother used to live at the corner of Throop & Lex Ave. I used to live on Lexington & Throop Aves. One night Special Ed came over to see his brother. We all went to the store and Special Ed bought something that cost 99 cent. When we told the dude at the counter who he was, dude was like, "He's cheap." When we asked him why he say that he said, "That cost 99 cent. He gave me a dollar and asked for his penny." Lmao!! We started dying!!!

[islandbee]

@manfocused lol Man I'm kinda jealous....I'm sure it was great to be in NYC during those times....and I have never been there yet.....not sure if I care to now because I imagine it to be all gentriFRIED.....I live in the Columbia City neighborhood in Seattle that has been allegedly noted as one of the most diverse zips in the nation, but it's now being handed off to The Man...but here in Seattle the 420's good and lots of people embrace old skool hip hop....would love it to be like it was bk thn

[jmjfanss]

This version is good, but rick ross's version had a much more smoother approacher.

[byrongilliam]

thats only because john legends in it if he wasnt noone would even like it

[jmjfanss]

But still rick ross's is a whole lot better, at least he does with creativity.

and a more beautiful sample.

[byrongilliam]

he pretty much took it from this and its only because john legend rick ross sucks as a rapper

[jmjfanss]

Really think again?

Rick Ross has improved as a rapper.

[byrongilliam]

if anything hes gotten worse, listen to the lyrics

[jmjfanss]

Not really, ross has stepped it up.

he really wasn't that good until deeper than rap.

[byrongilliam]

he always sucked he has one good song shot to the heart and thats it

[jmjfanss]

He's a lot better than that 50 cent/soulja boy which are even worse.

[byrongilliam]

yea its not hard to be better than them all u have to do is rap over a beat about something that makes sense

[jmjfanss]

And yet the sheep of today still support 5-0.

[byrongilliam]

yea unfortunetely

[jmjfanss]

And now 5-0 continues to ruin the industry badly.

[byrongilliam]

yea and the radio

[jmjfanss]

And now somebody had the nerve to call this clown better than the late big pun.

[byrongilliam]

who the hell said that?

[jmjfanss]

Somebody did and I Blasted the shit out of him.

[rogermoore27]

you;re a clown.

[byrongilliam]

what u think rick ross is better than special ed also?

[rogermoore27]

what shit are you asking me?

[byrongilliam]

when i said he always sucked i was talkin about rick ross and u called me a for whatever reason

[rogermoore27]

oh shit. I'm sorry then.

[byrongilliam]

Ed to klasyk. Szkoda że dziś trochę zapomniany. No i ta wersja jest lepsza niż ta druga gdzie ten fajny bit pojawia się tylko w refrenie.

[BJSteigner]
