bigted Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Speaking of LL I heard a new track from him that features Juelz Santana on the radio the other day, I think it's called "Juelz and LL", it's crazy, I got hyped listening! :yeah: Kanye West also won an award last, hip-hop artist of the year and in his acceptance speech he said he's the greatest, I wonder what Mr. Smith'd have to say 'bout that, I'd love to have seen the camera focus his facial expression to that, lol. :bat: I'm surprised that 50 said nothin' controversial when he made his acceptance speech.
