If you play it as an MP3 file and this is the first time this rap
may be not much good. But this toast may be better if you
listen us in a better version. Rap will not please you as long
as you dont devote something. And if you devote two
grams of marihuana the sound will not be opaque. Devote
two grams and you know what you may buy? See, you may
have a record singel, an album, half a gram of marihuana
and a beer. You may put an original [recording] on you
headphones and this original will be yours as your family is.
Only an original has this good climate, only! Only once you
may listen to it for the first time ! Let it sound clearly. Pawe Pezet Kapliski

[In Poland] Everything should be given
for free and above all mp3. So there is
a traffic on the net like in Hel*. I feel
sorry that they nastily rob us.
