Unfortunately though, some of you might call the song slightly unoriginal, as nothing about its loose theme and loop-happy beat break much ground. But, then again, it is Monday afternoon and more than likely you’re not completely able to follow along.

Hopefully.

With everyone teaming up these days, a K.R.I.T./Bun B EP-type project might be something to ponder. However, for present day sake, we’ll focus on Live From The Underground and their appearance on 2 Chainz’s “Pimps.” Read the rest of this entry »
