Let me not lie JR's verse on iLife goes so so in and he sets the right tone for other rappers that follow after him. Oh and if you were born in 1997 then you prolly heard of JR a year ago (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)

Write something along the lines of "mak'fika thina siya ncolisa" #sp ???????? or something very bold or ghetto then did the nigga not say!!...

"Si mincisa uMapakisha" ???????????? then "beka s'hlaphaza kanjani" truly a effortless but brave and bold approach by the WTF niggaz

I wasn't there when OKMKK recorded... But I knew I didn't have to be... What he did on Bob Mabena, I knew the verse was in good hands

Tweezy... What a talent and an asset to the game. I look at Lunatik and Tweezy as the torch holders. Always wanting to pass it on
