Fat Joe is indie now?
I don’t ever see Ras blowing up like he is due to, but his promotion does keep his true fans always in tune with his music. Much respect and success Ras. Fuck this new generation of music.
Nature Of The Threat is the greatest hip hop track of all times. If you can’t take the truth, don’t listen!
“Much respect and success Ras”
You have to earn respect, and mentioning the words success and Ras in the same sentence should be considered one of the seven deadly sins.
Excited about the Wais P album!!!
