‘I had to put Reasonable doubt out myself nobody would sign me I went to every single record label and they were like this guy is terrible he’s nothing’
‘So I had Dame dash pooled what little money they had started Roc-A-Fella records and drove up and down the east coast selling CDs from the trunk of my white Lexus to my mom and pop record store’
‘50,000 copies hand to hand before a single record label paid attention, now I’m worth $2.5B’
Now this? THIS? This is the song of (my) summer. Fuck all that Spend Dat shit. When I think, "song of the summer", I think lighthearted, upbeat and, most importantly, DANCEABLE. Spend Dat is none of those things. Thank goodness Baby Chief Do It gave us Ghetto Love Story 💕
