Ye talks about everything

shit i love kanye. no homo

[Cube23]

I wonder who wrote Ma$e's verse for him?

not sure if srs.........

I am being serious dude....cuz his first album he only had the perfect voice and flow/delivery and most of his shit was written for him.....

I really enjoyed his first album and I still really like it.

I think it's definitely plausable that Pusha wrote that verse for Ma$e. They are very Pusha T-esque lyrics.
