this is one of the oddest
Bush stories ever.

Forte is a rapper u guys never heard of, oddly he had Carly Simon and her family working hard for him to get his case looked at. He served 8 years of a 14 years sentence, I guess the argument on his side was it was a case of entrapment.


Movie of the week material.

Slick Rick made perhaps the most perfect rap song ever IMO.

"Hey Young World" is pretty great.

Know what else is great?

he probably should have done 6 months just for how lackluster that album was.
Talented cat though, I hope he makes the most of his 2nd chance.
