[…] Not sure why I didn’t think to post this earlier, but the new issue of Scratch has been on newstands for a minute. In it you will find my feature about how, straight outta Hollis Queens, “Drag Rap (Triggerman)” became one of the biggest down south party starters of all time. Article features cameos from Mannie Fresh, Memphis legend DJ Spanish Fly, Profile Records founder Cory Robbins and, of course, Bugs Can Can & Phil D. Triggerman of the Show Boys. […]

Fuck Wyclef, and please don’t not put him on the cover in the future. His a coward, I see this dude all the time even when he comes to Haiti, he act like his representing his country that’s all bullshit, his just trying to handle his political matters, even with this Haitian rap artist by the name of Jimmy-o he makes it seems as if his producing the dude, you just don’t know his playing the dude for a fool.
I recorded at a studio that he works at when his in Haiti, I never show this clown dude (Wyclef) no love.
I don’t know why haitians be on his dick.
Why don’t he keep it real, even in the video ‘you know what it is’ with T.I. he chose to speaks Jamaican english, he thinks his the Haitain Bob Marley or something, get a grip Wyclef you fake Jamaican.

TI is the worst thing to happen to hiphop. He is the reason why hiphop is dead. This fool has no skills and is just a crack head rapper (look at the lumps on his lips from smoking crack). Don’t kill hiphop with more interviews with this crack head. HipHop is Dead!!!!
