21. "forget all that, they're doing great. what happened to GANGSTA PILL?"
In response to In response to 0


  

          

The Refill was a legitimately impressive tape, he was killing it over everything from "Trap Goin' Ham" (still, I think, the epitome of what that sound can accomplish) to "Kick in the Door". I legitimately thought he was the mixtape generation's T.I. to Gibbs' Kool G Rap but then all of a sudden he signed with MMG, put out The Overdose and The Diagnosis, became HELLA boring and now he's barely even recording anymore, might never be relevant again.


What the fuck, man? Is he a shit person to do business with? Did he get caught up in drugs or alcohol? What's the story on him?
