Customer Reviews
Taylor Made
I’m going all the way down the conspiracy hole with this one. Drake freestyle diss is Taylor made. Ok Taylor production company is Taylor.made it. Drake is Brilliant Idiot listener because of how Charlemagne trolls him. So Drake listened to this last episode and heard how tight Taylor was on the episode. I know i’m reaching but let me go lol. Taylor baby girl i know you sick right now. I’m praying for you that Dot drop something and it’s nuclear!
Less Taylor
Great show every week even if u don’t agree with their points of view at times. Worst part of the show is when Taylor talks. Need less of her.
Looking forward to Charlemagne’s new book!
