Who Is Ab-Soul? by SirMichaelOriginal

 

            Most know of Ab-Soul as the TDE member with the long hair, black lips, and dark shades. Of course there’s more. The guy has an unmatched skill of mixing soul, reality, and meaningful wordplay together in a song.

The "New" West by SirMichaelOriginal

 

           We are in a time of constant change. There is a lot of pushing out the old and embracing the new. What’s the blame? The internet is my answer. The majority of industries that connect with consumers on a one on one basis are to make drastic adjustments to their business or they’ll end up closing shop. The music industry is at center stage for that change.

I took her home and enjoyed that, she ain't even know it." At first listen you can't help but to think the MMG boss man is condoning date rape. It could just be a lyric or it could have really taken place at one point in time. Does it deserve all the attention that it's receiving? Continue reading after the jump.
