He actually taught me a great amount of life skills that I can apply to my life instantly and I appreciate that. Also I am a fan of battle rap now I did get a chance to see the cass vs hit man battle. I believe cass won 3-O and for his next opponent cass vs lux would be crazy to watch

I wish I had my Pops still here to even have a conversation. Adam killed it with this one. Respect.
