Dude, raf…If I’ve told you once I’ve told you twice, I only wanna’ have four or five Def Jux babies. I can’t pay a million kids’ tuition on my blogging salary.
But yeah…what can I say? The Jukie stuff might not be as fun to listen to as the new Red, but I’ve been down for the cause since Company Flow. I see no reason to stop now.
