    his album was the most disappointing record of ‘09

    It really was an emo-rap record.

    You can only listen to this if you’re feeling down

    Such a let down on every level.

    33.3% Truth
    33.3% Iconic

    100% HIP HOP!
    One minute and thirty seconds into it and I had to pull it up. Those violins. Those violins.
    Those violins caught me off guard.

    This is awesome, I wanted to watch this but we don’t get this channel in the UK.

    Funny thing is to watch the people in the crowd try and dance, you can tell they don’t know the song and it’s hilarious. :D
