damn.

i remember when me and brian were up in that small ass cubicle at def jam, and shakir walked past. i was being stupid when i yelled, "i wanna work for you shakir!" and he turned around and laughed. nobody in that building was that chill, and you already know who i’m talking about when i say that. people wouldn’t even want you to hop in the elevator at the same time as them. he was the guy who would say, "yo, hop in here son!" so although i didn’t know the guy too well, i did work in the A&R department and i know he was vital to that building. he brought us acts like jeezy and ross, and with that track record alone you know the man had talent. coolest dude in that place, without a doubt. i feel like it was some other $#!t that led to this fuckery, though that’s just me…

that’s all i’ll say about that. rest in peace, sir. and shout out to def jam during these times, man. they work hard over there. if you didn’t hear, read the billboard article.
