Yall ever watch movies for the nostalgia ? I’m watching Scarface and even though I’ve seen it several times I’m enjoying tf out of this lol from the music to the fashion, hairstyles, etc
@chloestockholm lol I feel you. For me it’s just super corny . It’s reminds me of when dudes would get their taxes back, Christmas, or graduation money and start acting like they’re balling 😂 just corny as hell tf outta here with that lame shit
@__BeeMarie_ Exactly. Some of that gotta go to taxes, pay his agent, along with other expenses. After taxes , he really ain’t left with that much. His mama gotta be slow lol
