I can’t tell you how relieved I get when I see these pop up in the inbox. For the next hour and a half I get to ditch all the “next best thing/best rapper alive” bullshit and vibe out to some dope music while enjoying hilarious commentary; courtesy of the homie Phonte. Episode 13 is dedicated to Big Pooh; who recently got married. Te speaks on his third time as a groomsman (my first time will be going down soon, what up Dre!?), how not wearing a wedding ring can build a healthy marriage and how to use the word bitch in a positive way.
