>You out of control gawd. You offer the cynicism, yet there’s never a silver lining if you will no real info on your part. Just cynicism. And for that you wack. That dude isn’t nor will he ever be a savior. Remembers why I thought you was the snake type. Ah yes. Know what you should do, compile an email list and send a bevy of things of note to download, endear yourself to folk. You know. That might make the few that read this forgot they read this. Maybe, or you could just delete it. haha.
Things will change, but not for those who could benefit from change.

to PW, i got exited about this shit. the snippet is STILL on repeat.
Mos was NOT gna let Kanye, Jay, 50, Em, Dre, Jada, Common, and every other mother fucker come out in these next months without saying anything. Seriously, this marks the return of the greatest. This album will topple any soundscan giant no matter the sales.
For those of u that havn’t read the book The Ecstatic by Victory Lavelle, do so.
And cop this album.
