Plus I fucks with the Motion Family. Here Gipp shares his thoughts. Guess each member gets his own shine in the next 3 upcoming promo spots. Yipee.

Is this Hot Boy even signed to Atlantic anymore? Truth be told, I was a huge fan of Juve back in the days and thought Wayne was a young subpar whippersnapper. Oh boy was I wrong. But this shit right here is all flow, lil’ substance and too much, P.P. Pause. Try again, woadie.
