@Young_Guru on “Paris vs. Poorest”
Young Guru gives his take on Yasiin Bey’s (Mos Def) “Niggas in Poorest” versus Jay-Z and Kanye’s “Niggas in Paris”. In my opinion no one really breaks down topics in hip-hop better than this man.

Personality Assessment
Over the weekend I talked with my good homie, @IcyJonhson, and he asked me if I’ve taken the Carl Jung personality test before. I wasn’t sure but I told him I’ve heard of it. As he began to explain it the whole thing all came back to me. I actually took the test about 4...
