How you got the boys from Yonkers headlining “the planet of Brooklyn” festival?
what a sad lineup the headliners were relevant like 15 years ago..also quite risky booking Mister Cee, you never know if he gets busted with another tranny prostitute for the 100th time and miss the show lol
imagine DMX on the street corner holding a piece of cardboard that reads “will rap for crack” smh
imagine a fickle fan turning their backs on musicians b/c they do drugs… oh wait… if that’s how you feel, don’t listen to ANY music of ANY kind. Most musicians be f**ked up on EVERYTHING. Go back inside and clean up your room, kid lol you’re grounded
because if these artists don’t embrace the cultural marxist agenda then they get blackballed in the industry. the same force that is controlling the industry is pushing the gay agenda.
dude earthgang is performing this is awesome
