fuck these old school buffoons. its all about the new school like jay cole, kendrick lamar, and Odd Future. fuck these 50 year old rappers acting like young kids
Yes, well said … Fucking idiot. Without the “old school buffoons” there wouldn’t be any Odd future, Jay Cole or Kendrick Llamar.
Most of these “old school buffoons” aren’t 50 years old either, some only in their late 30’s. Old? Fuck outta here.
Your silly.
These Newjacks are only doing this because of the Dream which was sold to them. Notice how hip hop has kept us young and ageless
King Asiatic is back to bless the microphone!!
A3C has become quantity over quality for years now. Some of these acts there just keep getting invited back year after year out of obligation or inertia.
