People always ask me, “What projects are you looking forward to this year?”, so I figured why not list ’em and share. Before people start the “why isn’t (insert random rapper name) on here?” comments, this is only the top ten projects that I am looking forward to hearing. Of course I listen to music…

T-Pain Accuses Polekatz Of Racism
I’m not sure why T-Pain was in Chicago last night (I’m guessing B96’s Summer Bash?), but Teddy Pinned-her-ass spent a portion of his stay at the gentlemen’s club Polekatz, and despite spending thousands of dollars, accused the club of being racist and plans to never return: I’ve never been to a racist club before until…
