SUPER… w/ Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire [Video]

Some SUPER… episodes are funny. Some are uplifting. Some showcase the mad creative mind of your favorite rappers.

Overall, the plot is not so different from recent eXquire cut “Blood on the Moon.” Guess he’s really been on his wavy lunar tip recently.

We often have an idea of how we want to see things play out. A vision want to execute. In many instances, these ideas and visions are realized, just NEVER HOW YOU PLAN.”
