Hey slsk users can you let me know your user names either in this thread or by PM, im setting it up on my new mac and cant remember your names.

Thanks a bunch!

I dislike most mainstream rap, as it's mostly all about materialism and other garbage. I find some that I like, but few. I prefer my hip hop underground.

cool.. heard that new Kanye?

for me hells winter was hands down way better than movies. it wasnt even a question for me, did you think they were close h?

I hated Movies for the Blind, but I've always liked Cage. Hell's Winter is better on every level.
