  • Gary from Houston, TxOk folks
    This tempo is from an old Aspirin Commercial

  • Michaela from Brooklyn, Ny I like the song. I like his voice and the way he raps. I never thought the song was foolish. The song is a little silly to me but I still love it. In fact, I think this is one of the 'best rap songs' I have ever heard. I'm sure some people agree with me,for this song was ranked #1.
