![]() ![]() I’m at the crib watching it on BET and I’m like, ‘Yo, this shit is fucking epic!’ Just watching certain peoples’ faces and shit. You’ll see people standing up in the audience like, ‘What the fuck is happening right now?!’ Not for nothing, Wayne ripped that shit down. ![]() It wasn’t like Wayne leaked it the week before it was an exclusive. “The was amazing because people look back and probably don’t even realize this, but everybody who’s standing there watching it live in the audience, that’s the first time they’re hearing that song. Eventually, they were like, ‘Yo, let’s just throw a bunch more songs with this and call it an EP.’ It didn’t bother me I wanted something actually out there that was real content, as opposed to just being on a mixtape.
