ya cause songs like Show Me What U Got, Do U Wanna Ride, Anything and Hollywood were all so fresh and original

It was a more honest effort then most of his releases.

Quote from: OchoCinco on February 22, 2009, 12:51:16 PMthe fact that henamed it american gangster and that movie was commin out round the same time just came of as cheezy to me. i get he was tryin to bank off the success of the movie but i thot it just seemed lame.exactly, purely a marketing ploy to make some $$$. And what was that other shit that was a Budweiser commercial? Damn that song was fuckin horrible.
