Music to sell drugs to 

So there was a Pitchfork review of Gunplay's recent Inglorious Bastard mixtape. It had the rare impact on me of making me rush to download the record immediate-fucking-ly, and oh thank god I did.

 

 

Gunplay ft Rick Ross: Walking On Water

 

This is, indeed, an entire mixtape of music to crash cars, boats, trains, fuck execute complete acts of vandalance inside your grandparents' condo, do whatever the fuck you want to this music. It's more hedonistic and focused and thusly way more dangerous than Flocka, but Flocka's spirtual influence and actual presence tips this whole fucking thing into what happens after 8 four lokos, a lot of drugs and why are you carrying a firearm?

This song, "Walking On Water", comes early on the tape but is one of its crowning moments. Rick Ross hustles and snorts about how the sheer amount of cocaine he's sold in his time affords him a lifestyle akin to Jesus Christ. Bro is now apparently so rich he is canonized, holy, the Son Of God Blessed Is He Who Comes In The Name Of The Lord, and he has a jet and a helicopter so why are you not out selling drugs right now

That's the sort of shit this Gunplay tape makes one think. BRB guys, I'm going to get my hustle on.
