My editor wants to know about the Silver Surfer and the wave.
That’s the wave right there! Always got the red eye, the sour dies sticking to the walls. I like a bitch that lick the balls, hit the mall. I’m talking real shit, right? I ain’t a real nigga with my shit? I’m real with my shit, B. VIBE ain’t ever interview a nigga like Max Biggavelli. Max Biggavells-nells. These Dr. Dre headphones? These shits like 400 bucks, because they the ultimate. ‘Cause I’m wavy and I can just buy it up, because it’s a recession.

Ray’s J old piece gives her take on Eminem’s new video, “We Made You”
“I just saw Eminem’s new video for “We Made You” and he totally spoofs me!! It was a total surprise to me because I had no idea he was going to talk about me in the song. I think this video is so funny! I am a huge Eminem fan and find it flattering that he would rap about me. He’s a bit harsh about some other celebrities, but you just have to let it go and have a sense of humor. Personally, I’m honored.”
Personally, I’m honored to own this.
