Ma$e - “Best I Ever Had” Remix

You the f*cking best! Mr. Identity Crisis himself is seemingly back in the studio. It seems now he’s bent on defiling other people’s previously decent tracks with his decaying presence. He and his lyrics needs to experience

Diamond Status Is Forever.

Here’s how I always pictured it… We’d be getting ready to go out to dinner — maybe to visit my parents for the holiday or something — and I’d be torturing myself over which earrings/necklace/bracelet/etc. go with the outfit I’ve put together. You’d say...

My Hero Ain’t Molest Them B*tch *ss Kids

Trey Songz - Anticipation Mixtape

Young Trey is one of the few R & B cats who has the credibility from all angles to drop a “mixtape” and it be received as respectable & authentic, seeing as how the circuit is where he gained his early fame. Musically, I’m currently in a creative space like no other. I feel...
