Being a gangsta is cool and all, but Mack & Malone know how to celebrate life’s more important matters. T&A comes with the terrority and the Money Music makers have a grab at it, not to mention a few cop-and-feels as well. If eye candy was a literal term, Mack, Malone and Xzibit would would have went blind at the casting call for the MM’s 5th video. Read the rest of this entry »
