If you haven’t heard John Forté’s story, you should check it out. Basic idea: he beasted onto the scene in the 90’s as a producer (co-produced The Fugees’ The Score) then in 2000 he got busted in Newark Airport for accepting over $1 million worth of liquid cocaine. Crazy right? But it gets crazier. He was sentenced to a mandatory minimum of 14 years, but right before Bush left office he pardoned Forte after he served only 4 years.
Then 2 days ago he put this on Soundcloud.
This ain’t a song for the club or the rink,
I won’t ask you to smoke or to drink,
My fan base dark black to pink,
And you don’t gotta have rhythm but you have to think
