Can't retire if you never had the career.

Haha Epic gave me a copy when we did a show together in Paris. Nice guy. Sad to hear he is retiring but glad if he is doing something else that makes him even happier.

I told him he was sooooo

do you say that like it's an excuse? Not to beef, just real curious. Is he from Edmonton? I am here, and I aint heard of him ever. BTW, I just found out I worked with your dad about 15 yrs ago for a short while.

he's married. *wa-tssssh!* ha ha just kidding.

i mean, he's done his job. the world is aware of Jasper, Alberta. what else is there in rap to do? LOL

Epic kinda does talk like he raps. And it's great.

me, Epic and Conspiracy have a picture together that is awesome. A fine assembling of Canadian underground rap superstars.

sadly, the song we make may never come to light. I would drag Epic outta retirement if that's what it took to record another SBU song :cookiecookie:

rap is certainly out of control.

he's been living in edmonton for several years but he's from saskatoon originally. and your pm to me said you've been in south america for a while so i don't know how you'd know about anything going on in edmonton. no beef on my part either

just stating some possible reasons why he didn't feel the need to continue his much-maligned rap career

i personally like his music though
