Chris, pardon the smart-aleck-ness....but every song ive heard(well, ive only heard two)
of yours-- have those 3 descriptors above...in spades. Just really cliche-filled. you have a good voice...so..do you do that just for money(while writing other , below the surface things for fulfillment)?


not meant to be mean spirited..but I think talented folks should be part of the solution to this problem(on the surface, materialistic, chauvanist content)

I mean...the one song I heard..something about being on the runway or being in the club or some such... what do people feel when they write such lyrics? i mean...I find it hard to believe...the idea that someone could write such(if you call it writing) and have it come from any deep part of them..


Im curious, Chris, I really am.


When I pull out up front, you see the Benz on dubs
When I roll 20 deep, it's 20 knives in the club


Top top - girl
Me and you together is a wrap - dat girl
Driving around da town in your drop top - girl
You no stop shock - girl
Little more da Dutty, we'll rock dat world


I see nothing but gangstas up in here
I see nothing but ballers up in here
I see nothing but dope stacks up in here
I see nothing but flossers up in here

Ah Yeah
We gon mash it up
If you ladies want war we gon blast it up
If you bitches got bling flash it up
R.A.M Squad, Universal gon stack it up
Ah Yeah
