copy paste
now thats a mouthful
Aight matic we get the point. They are legends of a different era just like Kid-n-Play. Back in the day you couldn't tell me they wasn't hot.
Back on topic...
That freeway is gonna be hot...Philadelphia Freeway was a solid album.
Great job! I FORGOT 2 mention Kid-N-Play, who REALLY used 2 DANCE AND ROCK A PARTY! They are also legends! FOUR CLASSIC MOVIES, a cartoon, MAD HITS, mad dances that EVERYBODY has done time and again, lol, and just did their thing!
I LOVE DA PHILLY RAPPERS BEANIE, CASS, CYSSERO, DA WHOLE TOP KLASS, BUT FREEWAY WACK 2 ME AND HIS VOICE ANNOYING I MEAN CASS ATE DAT NIGGA AND DATS SOME OF DA WEAKEST SHIT I HEARD FROM CASS
For the record, Free's voice was ALWAYS annoying to me, too, lol! I WASN'T a ROC fan @ all... Oh well, they shouldn't tried 2 beef wit' the boy Esco!
Nas started the beef.
IM GLAD TO C MY MAN FREEWAY BACK ON THE SCENE.
Now see, I LIVE/AM FROM in Philly, and Free is.....so-so. He's not Cassidy. To me, he has no flow, really. I don't like Papa Smurf's voice, either. But "Big Spender" is kinda hot.
And I'm not EVEN gonna lie, I have his first CD, and a cuppla-cuppla joints are hot. so hopefully he can do better than that...
I never heard freeway album Im not a fan of his style but dat big spender track is fire
I'm glad there's a video for big spender.
