New Musical Fan Work: Midgetman
Posted by Striker on Saturday November 28th, at 07:44 PM
Now, before I say anything, I feel obliged to warn everyone with the following:

Warning: Following File contains explicit lyrics not intended for minors or the parents of said minors who'll give us a bunch of trouble because they weren't watching their kids logging on to a website about a guy who burns down forests and indiscriminately harms animals and people with often bloody results.



With that out of the way, "resident gangsta", GrimRobj (having now officially wrested the title from WC), has laid down another phat beat called Midgetman featuring MC Exdeathevn. Enjoy.
