My favourite too, although the clean version doesn't do it justice. I always use "You think it's a game.... you think it's a f'n gaaaammmmeee?" The jigga cameo in the video is fire though

It's Dark and Hell is hot was amazing
I didn't like Flesh of my Flesh
And Then There was X really grew on me, though one too many throwaway tracks near the end
Great Depression and Grand Champ were two classics imo

Given all the **** he went through growing up I imagine even making it to 50 was probably a win for him. I know it sounds **** up in the moment but if he didn't have Rap to get that **** out who knows right? Sad news either way given his story. RIP

Damn, he was always a mainstay on pre-game locker room and warmup playlists on teams I played for plus still a go-to for workout playlists. It’s impossible not to get hyped listening to his songs.

RIP

Remember my high school days heading to Scarborough Town Centre and picking up his album on cassette tapes at HMV. :cry: :cry:

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Only his family will know the type of man he was to them.
