No one will ever be able to sample The Godfather theme. Mobb Deep failed, Diddy failed, Wu Tang failed, now Mos has failed.

you (of all people) should NEVER start a sentence with the words “i flow”…
cause you tellin lies before you even finish the thought …
a while back, you were improving, but you done lost contact with the beat again …
do you actually listen to the instrumental while you rap?…
or do you just guess where the bars should start and end?
or do you record El Feces Loco Studios? …
“look at her, look at her” …

it is an elegant sounding string intrument which has the plane of its strings positioned perpendicular to the soundboard. It is classified as a chordophone by the Harvard Dictionary of Music and is in that class of instruments with plucked strings. They all have a neck, resonator, and strings. Some may be played while held in the lap or while it stands on the floor.

On a more serious note lol
The Duma issued a press release on the HAARP written by the international affairs and defense committees, signed by 90 deputies and presented to then President Vladimir Putin. The statement claimed:
The U.S. is creating new integral geophysical weapons that may influence the near-Earth medium with high-frequency radio waves … The significance of this qualitative leap could be compared to the transition from cold steel to firearms, or from conventional weapons to nuclear weapons. This new type of weapons differs from previous types in that the near-Earth medium becomes at once an object of direct influence and its component.
