  1. Congrats Ricky D! Maybe he’ll make a new record now…or least get on some records! 43 is old for a rap star, but damn I’d love to hear him as much as a new Rakim record!

  2. good to see you rapping at hip hop in the park j soul that was more exciting than a slick rick record. Did you retire and come back?
