I love "Tank" cuz he's trying to bring sexy back, and not in a "Justin Timberlake" way, but in a grown and sexy way, that shows the hurt and heart ache that grown men feel, when going through it behind loving a woman and losing a relationship.

I really liked "Bruno Mars" when he first hit the scene, he was crispy and clean, but now the sound of his voice really annoys me, so I really couldn't enjoy watching the video snippet. I ended up turning it down and just watching it.

His political platform is hood-tastic. 1. Lamborghini doors are meant for Lambo's only. 2. Gang bang'n aint for rappers only real gang bangers. 3. 3XTall is only for tall people, only. 4.Rappers jerk'n will be shipped to the rain forrest.
Please do not judge a book by its cover, cuz you will be missing out on something hot!!! I liked "SCUMFAM" because they are dirty and gritty and let me just say, sh*tty. They're buck wild style, kinda had that "Das EFX" gutter flow. And the beat is suicidal and the average rapper pass like gas, but they straight smashed!!!!!
