    Fiend might be the most talented hip hop artist, pound for pound, New Orleans has ever birthed. His writing ability, not just from a rapping standpoint, but with hooks, production, longevity and his ability to transcend - he’s still going strong and it sounds fresh!

    My favorite lyric from fiend was on Mac album shell shocked
    That's why your big brother Fiend gon holler
    And I really meant, I don't wanna be here if I don't gotta
    Not tryin to discourage, a lotta
    But look in my eyes
    Even though we camouflaged I can't disguise the pain we got
    Inside
    That's why I ride all night
    Smokin till I can't smoke no more
    Wanna forget some of the shit we saw
    With that old dirty four oh
    Wanna give money to the poor folk
    But got one eighty and one quarter
    Splitin that three ways
    That's between my momma, sister and her daughter
    And the track call all you can be

      Don’t wanna question you lord but I’m so curious
      I sleep amongst killas and don’t know who to trust
      I meet beaucoup bitches and now it’s cool to fuck
      I live for the moment cause I’m afraid of my future don’t wake me up oh lord why
      I look myself in the eyes and I see why thugs cry
      Shell shocked
      I put that on my pops
      and he told me keep it Cocked
      So I keep it cocked

    I may be one of the biggest No Limit fans of all times... the "Ice Cream Man" video played on Rap City every day when I was in summer school...University of South Carolina 1996!
    Master P and No Limit Soldiers...this rhyme is for you!
    Make'em say Ugh! is like Michael Jackson's Thriller/
    On the mic Mia X is a stone cold killer/
    Mystikal rappin fast as CJ Spiller/
    Everytime I'm at Mardi Gras people say "You a Miller?"/
    I'm a Brooks like I'm Slim and Baby cousin/
    No Limit Tank Dogs are like the Dirty Dozen/
    Percy Miller, King of the South to KLC drumming/
    Can't drive a tank on Bourbon Street but you can do some "Hummin'/
    I wanted to see P guard Kobe/
    Star spangled banner sung by Mo B/
    Ghetto Dope rockin' from the Boot to Nairobi/
    I shed a tear everytime I play "Dead Homies"/
    Grapevine Ent inspired by James P and Master P/
    Roc A Fella, Bad Boy, Luke, Cash Money...
