[@djortiz3884]

@josephgreen7984 I feel that too bro. But I mean as far as Melo not winning a chip, and Fab not winning a grammy. But they still GOATS. Fab is in my top 10. Melo is in my top 15. So it’s just mad similarities bro.

@@sanelempanza6247 Crazy run I miss the mixtape era so many good ass tapes u had Fab, Cole - truly yours, Dom Kennedy had some shit, Ross/MMG, Wiz Khalifa Taylor Allderdice and ETC but them the ones I listen too by Bible basically all fire tapes.
