Didn’t know iTunes had the official crispy soundboard audio of the first performance of BP3‘s first big single. You know, The Yankees new theme.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3645654&w=425&h=350&fv=] People love to tell this story again and again about how hard 50 works. I get it, he works hard. We all should.
