DON’T SLEEP: Shag “Flyrule” [BEAT TAPE]
So I’m writing this long ass diatribe about how much I hate “Watch The Throne” and I get an email from my boy & Team PIK member Shag saying he just sent me a link to a beat tape I might wanna fuck with but the “may” was capitalized. I was wondering “What did he make it out of that I’d not wanna fuck with it?”. I opened the email and I saw the beat tape was called “Flyrule”.
I clicked the link and it was a beat tape based on the music from The Legend Of Zelda games! I said “Oh shit! That’s ill! And told my brother who said “I thought of doing that when I played “The Ocarina Of Time”!”. I then sent him back an email full of swears (I black out sometimes) asking why WOULDN’T I fuck with it? End result is it’s already his most successful beat tape. I present to you all “Flyrule”. DON’T SLEEP!
