Some of the stuff he says has me cu cu for coco puffs. And Elzhi, well what can I say, he's a silent assassin on the MIC. Even if Royce doesn't put out a tight CD ever he will be in my top 5. Elzhi quickly jumped into my top 5 as well. It's guys like them and others that still have me holding on to hip hop for dear life...when they die out so do I....<BR/><BR/>~J.O.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16241456305718271486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630925687152131430.post-77228577367128128212008-09-23T18:47:00.000-07:002008-09-23T18:47:00.000-07:00The track from The Preface...
