And now a Word from Jeff to the Left

What Up Treazy Radio Show faithful,its ya dude Jeff 2 the Left and im venting
The one thing i cant figure out is how the fuck you a hot rapper and what you spitting is some made up shit you seen in a movie,or better yet in a cartoon the way some these niggas is talkin now a days.Now i understand you gotta be creative in some kind of way but if you aint fuck the baddest bitch before some label dumped ice on your neck,or if never touched a gun before until the prop gun they give you for your video,its a problem.

My personal favorite rappers are PAC,NAS,And Jay Z,yea thats right TOP 3 In that order,all 3 of those rappers had at least a dose of reality in their rhymes.Pac is on his G shit,Nas rhymes about his surroundings in that killzone called Queensbridige lol,and Jay had a hustlers mentality ...plus they got hot music

Every artist has a story to tell,look at Kanye or even Talib,not at all gangster but still great music without the lies ,Support the real,and not the fabricated shit
