he is a pillar that contributed to the world of hip hop in ways that will be zeroxed by future generations to come.

we send your our love and well wishes…

conversate: iCHAT WITH CHUCK INGLISH DISCUSSING…MAYER HAWTHORNE, GANG SIGNS & WORK – @CHUCKISDOPE

1. i’m 15 years old, not 28
2. OSCAR SANCHEZ not DJ JUNIOR SANCHEZ
3. i don’t drink vodka, maybe the occasional wine or champagne
