Trying too hard

The truth don’t need an explanation. This dude try to hard to convince n*ggas of what he once was. Nobody cares. And you gossiping. Leave Joe budden business to The casual fan. You trying too hard to be competition where none exists. I just hope he continues to ignore you. And lastly, you got more ads than you’re actually talking. At first you were interesting, now I’m tired of you.

The realist

The realist. That’s it. That’s the review. Period. 🔥🔥🔥
The episode about Von was hard to listen to. I wanted to scream. You did a great job trying to explain to him that he does not understand the culture.

Ducatidern ,

His opinion is Fact.

I’ve listened to 3 episodes so far. This dude is out of his mind.
