  • Why is Mississippi so awesome? Roots of talent... BTW noob, 1410... is music, is in the blood.. read a little... and if you still don't get it go to Mississippi..  .I.

  • music was way better before, i think its because they lived through so much and people worked so hard that when they picked up the instrument they released that stress! They released their hardship, now we have it so easy thats why our parents scream at us when we half ass everything.

  • @danielkellydoran Thats racist

  • Damn I wish I could have been there in person to witness this and to tell those people talking behind the camera to shut the fuck up!

  • This generation is dying out. It's not just the music, its the lives they led, the times they lived in, Hard living, living that would kill most of us.

  • @Gixxer983 thats ok, he can't either. Hes making it up as he goes. That's what makes it so cool.

  • Thats a bad muthaf, wow, replicate that.
