  • Big Shy Dog

    Yo B.G. is back with dis album. Stay on top dog.

  • N.O. Scooter

    Jon Longway needs to sit his hating ass down. It ain’t all about being a lyricist. Yeah lil wayne can flo, he’s one of my favorites. When it comes down to speaking real shit B.G. can’t be seen. You must be a ol sqaure ass nigga. If a nigga don’t feel B.G. you must be wack. Jon must listen to radio hits. Nigga get an album punk. Then you say why call lil wayne a buster? You don’t even know whats going on with that beef. You should just stop speaking on it lame. I aint got nothin against wayne, I wish there wasn’t any beef, but if ?I was B.G. I’d feel the same way bout that nigga tho. Jon go get a Kanye West album and leave this shit alone until you find some sense.

  • Gutta

    big ups to B.G…..i cant stand baby and more so because he is shady as hell, he played out everybody on the label except for his brother and weezy and the only reason why he didnt play weezy is because he saw the most money makin potential with him…i hope baby do a dame dash

  • velli504

    if u real, u know it aint about going platinum. its about making paper, niggas go platinum all the time and get 10 cents an album, do the math…in the south, we dont worry bout going platinum…its a hustle to us, cause the south has been hated on so long that we gotta get it ourself…if a nigga sells 200,000 indie and gets $10 dollars a album, fuck fame and platinum…make money

  • MOMMIE

  • valence-N-magnolia

    niggaz hatin on gizzle….stop it dude blowing up like bombs.

  • KILLA KYLE

    LIKE A DAWG HOMMIE YOU THA HEART OFF THA STREETS AND LIL WAYNE HE A HOE IN THESE STREETS

  • Juice

    Sound’s pretty stupid saying all that matters is sells if you’re a fan. Dag that mean B.G. hustlin you.

    Clearly, Lil Wayne gives you a quality product. His verses to songs to albums are all put together well. It’s a journey going from da Carter to da Carter II to Dedication 2. He is true to his craft. Heart of the Streetz is weak!

    Man I could care less if BG or Wayne lies about there lifestlye, or if either one of them is a punk. I just want lyrics. Aint no rapper exactly as hard as they rap.

    Lil Wayne has come up, BG just gotta to put more effort into his work man.

    you done started somethin that i’ma take real far. everyday a shoot out you done started gorilla war.
    it got me hurtin to see my dog people in grief so its the law that i bring the same pain to yo peeps.
    i’m dress to kill black hoody, black soljas and bo’s. when i spot ya ‘ima let this stop on the AK unfold.
