It was one of those anthologies which weren’t heavily polluted by useless filler (lower quality songs).   On the album was the track “ Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz ”, produced by Easy Mo Bee , which was released as a single in 1995, and on which Mr. Cheeks  stated:   Keep the shit liv

Similarly, I watched Tron: Legacy  (2010) upon its release, yet I couldn’t recall much about the film other than Serinda Swan ’s depiction as Siren #2.   Given how forgettable the Tron franchise  has been to me, I didn
