        No kidding. Could you imagine if all we had to look forward to anymore was the weak-ass rock output recently? - TFox Nov 17, 11:34 5
        
        I blame Puffy for the weak ass turn rap took a few years ago. He's horrible. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 11:37 4
        
        If you're blaming Puffy, you need to go back like a decade, *and* tell me that Biggie sucks. - TFox Nov 17, 11:39 3

        Puffy is pretty much off the radar now in a lot of ways, actually. I'd agree with that. - TFox Nov 17, 11:42 1
