Oh no! They took out the Texas shows from the tour. Didn’t expect that. Was looking forward to seeing these guys.
That Nas verse on the first song sounds amazing
Why broke ass Nas giving away the tickets for free now? Doesn’t he desperately need the money to pay Kelis for that child support? He knows nobody is going to see his roster full of nobodies. People would rather see and pay money for King HOV and Queen BEY in another On the Run tour. It’s the ROC!
All these guys are solid lyricist wish they were coming to the M town.. Support quality Hiphop y’all
my initial reaction when i heard about the tour was “whos going to pay to watch these nobodies?” guess nobody???
