      I know someone who got a tattoo and Spanish but because the letters were too close together it changed the sentence. If she knew Spanish she would have fixed the tattoo. Now she has to live with a tattoo that says something else. It took her months to even know it was wrong.

      UA-cam Channel Nah, that was a pretty strong first album, has its flaws and under developed ideas but a borderline great album non the less 7.8/10 or on a good nostalgic day I’ll give it an 8/10 because it’s clearly his most mature project thus far so I’ll have to place it above the rest. That Hooligans EP was pretty enjoyable as well. #FreeVicMensa
