@wannabehoops he did its on itunes check it out

[wildwestcountry]

what beat is that?

[htpdemoneyeskyo]

@wannabehoops Actually, now that I think about it, I might be lyin' about it droppin' last year. I just know it says copyright 2010 on the back of my CD case. I just assumed it dropped last year 'cause I was out of country last year, and since I been back I been reading XXL pretty regularly, and I ain't see no review. I might've just missed it though. But it's definitely been out for a while though. They don't sell bootleg shit at the Best Buy I copped it from. I hope not, anyway.

[htpdemoneyeskyo]

@wannabehoops Yeah he did. It came out last year. It had that Battle Cry joint, Call Me, Sing Like Bilal, Cocaine, buncha good joints. I don't think there's a wack joint on the whole album. One of my favorites to come out recently. You should check it out.

[wannabehoops]

lol its 2011 and he still hasnt dropped free agent.

@MrPUN77 OF ANY OTHER RACE THAN BLACKS, LATINOS SUPPORT HIP HOP THE MOST. BUT WHEN IS A LATINO WHO GETS INTO THE RAP BUSINESS, THEY GET NO SUPPORT FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS. NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE. THIS MAY SOUND LIKE STEREOTYPE, BUT IT'S NOT. AFRICAN AMERICAN ARE JEALOUS, ENVIOUS, MEAN AND THE MOST RACIST RACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

[MrPUN77]

At doeboy84 my comment clearly states "Racism towards Latin rappers, like we're not part of hip hop" its a general statement not an indirect message.

[doeboy84]

@MrPUN77 Aftermath is not racist, Dre has a history of quickly signing acts that never come out, get dropped or leave. Joe Beast, Brooklyn, Raekwon, Gage, Hittman, Mel Man, Truth Hurts, Busta Rhymes, Eve (twice), Shaunta, Rakim, Antonio, Amy, RBX, King Tee, Bishop Lamont, Ms. Roq, Lady of Rage, Last Emperor, Dawn Robinson, The Firm, Sam Sneed & CPO. & only Busta Rhyme, The Firm & Truth Hurts have released a album there (1 each) then they left. Why sign him if he's racist? Makes no sense?!?!
