It makes a better first experience...

Real talk, Jay is pretty much the one that put the hustler ish on the map & laid a blueprint (no pun intended) for others I.e. Jeezy, TIP, etc.. A few cats dabbled in the lane before him but he was the one that really set it off..

Love your reactions man! You listen to music the way we do. We analyzed the bars and found jewels in them. You can learn something from listening to them. “This unstable way I’m living just has to stop” jewel from this is knowing that nothing lasts forever so spread your hustle to make sure you don’t get lost “one drought can wipe you out faster than ____ (whatever can hurt you)”. That’s there message we got out of it. Can have all your eggs in one basket.
