    I doubt Rick Ross has ever really date raped anyone though. The guy is a phoney.

    Does anyone even care about Tyler anymore though? Also bad lyrics are still bad. Not even just because of what they are. I mean, come on, the lines we're talking about were just poorly written. Not sure if laziness or just shit.

    @lipwreck: Because Reebok was trying to use him to boost their brand... just like they tried to use 50 Cent. And they didn't actually care what Ross said in his lyrics, they just didn't want the controversy they were bringing. Sad thing is... his lyrics on "U.O.E.N.O." wasn't as bad as the feminists have made them out to be, Tyler the Creator has said MUCH WORSE.

    This man will actually jump on any trend and run with it. So disgusting. I'm actually mad that I was ever as big of a fan as I was. I hope he gets d-r-a-g-g-e-d for his latest single (harder than he already is).
