Countless songs have been dedicated to the ultimate bling - from spinning rims & gold chain steering wheels to hopping hydraulics and bumpin trunks. And, like the music, things get dropped, chopped, screwed & remixed until the crowd goes wild! Rides get pimped, tires get smoked, ...

Ya know, I started writing this long post explaining why this is Troy Powers' song of the day, but fuck it, I'll keep it short. I've been accused of being a bad boyfriend on quite a few occasions. And, honestly, I can't deny it. I've been told that I'm selfish, and it's true. As far as I'm concerned if people spent more time making themselves happy instead of trying to please other people o...
