Meanwhile Banner has followed up that act of swag shaming by collaborating with a man whose breakout track was called uh… “Purple Swag.” Whoops.
B’s God’s Father mixtape coming soon.

Lil B - White Flame (Mixtape, 2012)
Halfway through this so far and it feels like more of a Bitch Mob 2 than a new Flame, except B is drawing on New Orleans instead of Memphis. I guess that was to be expected given the cover.
On the internet: Cute children perform “No She Didn’t” from A.G.’s very underrated 2010 LP Everything’s Berri. The Ghost of Big L shivers when they say “shout out to Diggin In The Crates for life.”
Before he got far, though, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan — possibly intoxicated, definitely intense — climbed up to the microphone and, over the post-show din, grabbed the spotlight.
“2 Chainz!” he shouted a few times, making sure he was heard, then asked the rapper to join him back on stage with an odd request: “Come pay homage to me, son.”
