Return of the Mac
the projects fucked me upmade me strong as an ox

i just watched these videos and i think i changed my mind... he does over simplify and glorify violence, sex, drug abuse, money, power pretty much everything... maybe thats his artistic touch. "nah this is reality rap.. i really go through it"

it took me less than 6 hours to completely change my opinion. nice!
