… Naw that’s some gang $h!t…. Lol too funny and so true I’ve seen ppl make moves like that
Saw Chance the Rapper In an interview today. He seems like a really decent man who has his priorities straight in life. I was impressed. About BTS, I just don’t get the love for that group. Guess I’m not their target audience. However I like plenty of boy bands, but I can’t figure out why they’re so popular. Don’t think their music is that great. Oh well…
Cannot wait for Animal Kingdom…Ellen Barkin will be sorely missed, but intrigued to see what the storyline goes now! 🤙
