just got this "victory is mine" mix off a mate (h'aint been following hiphop for a few years now) and after deciding the guy is worth buying I am looking at discogs and he has just three mp3 releases, none of which feature his best tune "something to hold on to" - did some searches and I can't see that this is even selling? I presume the copies I have (terrible quality) are off his myspace or some shit (don't play that), then came over here to find out what the story is with the guy and the last post about him is in 1997.

wtf? Is he not even signed yet?

oh, and his kid is named Mars

    he has recently signed to RocNation with the help of Jay-Z and Diddy

    he has an amazing mp3 single that came out last year (produced by Just Blaze) called Exhibit C (there is also an A and B).

    there are tons of fake mixtapes in the interthos, many of which feature a semi-extensive catalog he recorded with jay dee before he passed

    he knocked up erykah badu (but who hasn't)

    b/w

    he's definitely a little crazy

    The latter is a result of the former. See also: Common, Andre 3000

    I made two very appropriate graemlins for this very subject. Anyone have them? In not at that computer.

    You've been badu'ed

    And

    Don't stare directly at the ass

    well, she has a talent for the talented ones, but jesus kerriste she comes across like a total pain in the ass.

    you ever see the uber pretentious documentary 'Before the Music Dies' a few years ago? watching her talk about music was like pulling teeth

    Bravo on both of these and the star trek joke
    I suggest using a crochet'd up common for the first graemlin
    the ass gif could be used for the latter
