But when hookers are trying to illegally download your [garbled]. You know I ain’t corporate. You know I am doing my own thing. You gotta support your artist.” And so it goes on. Having listened to it, we’d probably be in the market to buy a whole album of RuPaul kicking people to the kerb like this.
