    “See, their song goes ‘ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding’, and mine goes ‘ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/DING-ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding’. It’s totally different.”

      I wanna see a double blind study on what percentage of people can accurately distinguish between ice ice baby and under pressure in the first few seconds.

        Are they working alone, or do you envision groups who can stop, collaborate, and listen?

      No. No. He wasn’t under pressure, he was under presure. Total different.

    Basically every rap pre-Wu Tang was like “well my name is jim and i’m here to say, i don’t support anyone who’s gay!” Exceptions are EPMD and Eric B and Rakim.

    “Bloodhound Gang and Rob van Winkle: Together on this track.”

    He genuinely could flow. He just was too caught up in trying to market himself (his rap / metal fusion album was a good example of lyrics trying to package a look).

    How much $$ has he turned down from the Trump campaign? You know they want a rapper or a hip hop hopper to engage the youths.
