Ok wow...let's hope his next songs are a little bit better...hahahahah!! That joint was kinda wack; all that equipment was WAAAAAAY overkill; they coulda put that down with an SM58 and Cakewalk Sonar on their mom's laptop f'real. What was THAT all about? Hired an engineer and everything!! lol

we would like to thank the newly free john forte for "representing" with our new blackberry 8100 "SPIT HOT FIYAHHH EDITION" which allows for quick scrolling and large font sizes, all the better to rap you "dope" lyrics with in the "lab."

PAPER? thats for the old school! Are you more 50 cent than Kurtis blow? Way past Kool Mo Dee but not quite wheezy? this portable device is for you?

plus it saves a few trees! (pun intended).
