To look at pictures and the promo video featuring other artists….

I can’t.

No, really. I can’t.

This is too much for me. First, Lil B is with Souljah Boy. Then, he becomes a poster child for MTV. Next,  he is set to perform along with artists like Kanye West ( my life partner), Cee-Lo and Wiz Khalifa at Coachella next month. Becomes a TOP 10 Freshman Rapper.
