No dis
If it was just on most def it would be real good but those ather guys it mite not be all that
It will be interesting to observe how much the artists of rap will use this genre's massive popularity for the good rather than just the fat paydays!
That was the best verse I've heard in a while from anyone. I like his singles like Mathematics, I Agianst I*, Travellin Man, but I normally don't prefer his other music, but if he rapped as creatively as he did here, not that his other stuff wasn't, on his next album that'd be crazy. I like his acting in that movie with bruce willis and the hitchhikers guide. That line "No, no, that's not it, we're gonna die." was hilarious. So all respect due.
