That Pusha T album is great. Hope people check it out.

take care and the new gambino are gonna be what i have sex to the next couple of months

Common, and cant wait to hear KL's cut on TC...will trample Drake's verses no doubt.

Can we show some Pac Div love? I've been excited/happy/enamored by them for 5 years now. They are some of the most relatable/fun dudes in hip-hop today. Put up the Pac Div video for "Posted," please.

Yela and MGK are both real dope MCs in their own right and its a shame they are beefin over some trifle shit.

Cannot wait for Take Care.

Didn't even notice they had been put up there. The few songs I've heard of theirs I really like. Can't remember one of the ones I listened to but it had a real Clipse feel.
