Somewhere in the universe, Gregory The Great is punching himself in the nuts at the fact that Kendrick Lamar is even on here. Hahaha sorry but Drake suck ass both musically and sexually. ⏸️ (with men aka his dogs)
How the hell is Retardi B on here. She is 🗑️
Kendrick is also leading in suspects of diddy’s freak offs crew most likely to get arrested
If you aren’t just trolling, you are such a pathetic sad sack and a sore loser. He and your wife Drake, folks who wouldn’t cross the street to piss on your head if it were ablaze, are living in your head rent free. And you are completely unaware of it. On the other hand, either way, you are also a ray of light because, for everyone else you come into contact with, life is peachy compared to yours. It’s quite a hilarious paradox when you think about it. May the farce be with you.
I bet Drake’s 😺 ass doesn’t show up.
Won’t be watching.
Bout to be a other ultra ratchet year, where all the top “talents” rap like “pull up, and a dull up, gotta roll up, so up, fruit roll up”. That crappy modern flow is very annoying. Can’t stand it.
