[@AnecDope_official]

Oh man, me too! Thankfully the audio recordings still exist. Some of the beats still hold up too!

[@andrewthach1989]

Crazy that clipse Timbo and Pharrell actually hung out with each other at such a young age

[@AnecDope_official]

Right? Something really was in the water over in VA.
