shut the fuck up you french piece of shit
Awesome! It’s been way too long. I enjoyed To All My Friends, but it kinda felt like Life Lemons: The B-Sides.
Atmosphere does take a few listens to “get it” but when you do you understand how dope they are, how incredible Ant is, and how ill Slug’s rhymes are.
Fuck this emo music. He’s the reason why we have faggots like Drake, Kid Cudi, B.o.B and Wiz Khalifa. Atmosphere is Homo Hop. Gucci Mane is Real Hip Hop. Gucci Mane will murk this nigga alive.
It’s Gucci Time!
If you want to blame anyone for bringing his feelings into hip-hop, blame LL Cool J (good luck with that, by the way). Atmosphere did not poison the well. The water was tainted some 25 years ago.
Additionally, I fear this guy will eventually convince people that Gucci is “real hip-hop” by using the Fox News tactic of repeating something over and over until we believe that it’s true. I certainly hope not.
Funny, I actually heard that Gucci was homo and SuperGucciRap is obviously one of his groupies…
As for the Atmosphere album, should be sick…
I just don’t get the ice cream cone face tat? Besides, who would challenge Master P’s claim to being “Tha Ice Cream Man”?
dude your the one that is a homo you have no idea wtf you are talking about. i would like to see you run your mouth not over computer, make your way to sound set, say some shit like that an you wont make it out. you are a disgrace an putting your opinion out there like that aint right man, you do not know music. crawl into a hole with your gucci an justin beiber shit. an leave the real hip hop fans to rule the this UNDERGROUND sean. the shit you support is crappy shit beats, lyrics they pull outa there ass, an computer generated voice enhancements.
dopeeeeeeeeeee
well dang!!
THE REAL AMBER ROSE X-FLICK…A MUST SEE!!

Cant wait baby! I knows Spawns long gone but shit would be nice with some collaborations with him.
Maybe some old Godlovesugly sound or Overcast up in it, that would make me sooo happy.
oh yeah im also hungry for gucci’s cock…
Fuck yeah!
I hear you my man.
I’d love to suck the jizz right out of Gucci’s cock. It would be like biting off the tip of the icecream cone and sucking out that creamy goodness.
Hell yeah!
Suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock,suck cock…

It restores my faith in humanity ever so slightly to see Atmos selling out shows.
