  I love Kanye west even tho he is a gay fish. N jay z is still a faggit. Stupid camel. ANyways back to the news umm well this is a good thing for nobody, except for these 2. I sold 50 copies of my rap album in high school back in the day. The school only had 1000 people……. so i went gold too.

  Hey, Whitefolks, it’s called “Lift Off” not “Lift Out”. At least that’s what it says on my album.

  Well lets start by saying my favorite rapper is underground “Solo.” He just hit mainstream as a group on Shady Records, but hey lets say Eminem is my “Favorite” rapper… oh wait a second he made them numbers in a week. Actually more than those numbers smdh. FYI, incase you didn’t understand who my favorite rapper is, it is Crooked I…

album sales dont mean shit when ur talking about ur favortie rapper, a lot of rappers dont have the marketing tools like jay-z and kanye espescially when both them niggas are on one album, like crooked I for example, hes dope as shit and doesnt move big numbers but that shit doesnt mean he cant lyrically fuck up 90% of the game, numbers are success, but irrleveant when it comes to personal opinion on who ur favorite rapper is
