Was not mentally prepared to hear so much non-soundcloud rap tonight. Going pretty hard here Jim P.

That stopped because I was trying to cue a record using Tidal while KRS-One was playing on the PC. Sorry about that, KRS-One.

Its _______ hearing Trump references from pre-2015 songs. Can't put my finger on the word but it holds more entertainment value. Most recently it was Rah Digga with "Get loot like that Trump bitch, Ivana" lol

@?: The only thing i know about him is he was a snitch and "people" watched his vid many millions of times. I watched 3 times because its not a bad song and i found alot of entertainment value from the way he opens the video waving a middle finger and smiling for the camera with an iced out grill. I know nothing of his charity work.
