"Drag-On?" LOL. Now THAT is a random obscure Ruff Ryder member right there. Is he related to Swizz or something?
Disconnected? Have I missed the steady releases of blazin' hot tracks by "Drag-On" over the last few years? I hope you are joking. Plaese to get serious.
Whats the last super-producer album that actually worked out? Seems like all these solo albums are always junk, Pharrell, timbo, swizz, they always seem to try to unload an album of 2nd rate shit off one hot radio single....
But still, Kweli at 2nd, is this a glimmer of hope, or an indication that the end times are close at hand?
The fact that he won't go around bragging about this shit.
I swear some of you guys play into this WWF shit waaaaay too much.
