  35. noles______506 says:

    Hi my name is noles___506 and I have no life so that’s why I impersonate mac DIESEL. I’m a Canadian dork who wishes he was Drake. But I look like a half white inbred and have big floppy fish lips. That’s why I never get girls and bother other men like mac DIESEL. And I hate on RapRadar all the time so that’s why I go to this site. So pretty much my life sucks and senseless. So if I off myself, don’t be surprised…just be happy. Well, its time for me to sleep and dream about mac DIESEL so good nite. I’ll be here tomorrow to stan on mac DIESEL and hate on RapRadar some more. Bye bye now.

  37. swag puffs says:

    smh at the number of trolls on rapradar. yn needs to put in a login-based commenting system, so we can report people like icy boi & mac diesel and the rest of the capslock clan. also the people with the shameless self promotion. we all know that if there was a carter 4 leak, there’s enough dedicated weezy fans to get that shit all over the internet, so chances are, it’s not buried in a thread on a single post on a rap website. so fuck that guy and his shitty music. come on b dot. come on yn. come on amaya (ps. i heard you’re a guy… that totally ruined my fantasy. fuck.) lets get a legitimate commenting system and end all the bullshit. there’s more trolls than a motherfucking bridge. and nobody likes bridges.

    tl;dnr: fuck bridges.

  38. KanyeSmug says:

    I’m SURE JEFF AND TODD LIKE BRIDGES JUST FINE LOL
