thank you to everybody i am doing some listening and research while
i eat my lunch
most of these people i have either heard of or heard their music
but a lot of them i have not heard of at all

is Turf Talk really that good?

thanks for that site dubcnn.com but as i have been there before it seems to be mostly horrible pasteoids with their hats sideways and broke ass homies from the hood who are still trying to replicate the whole death row NWA thing with little to no talent

is the site run by gay foreign people?
a lot of real gay looking stuff on there

i'll vouch for mack too. if you like blue scholars, like i know you do popeye then you'll like macks release i think. its not on the same tip but its one of the best washington releases for sure.
