Wow!! the first time I've ever met a GK Maryan fan... and liking ZokuAkumyou at
that... this series is notorious locally for its cheap quality and for being
off balance between good and bad material... Last time I saw GK Maryan, he was
doing Zen meditition before a show... You also liking King Giddra (in particular)
says something about your tastes. For those who want to know, Giddra is a group
with two MCs, one in particular, is particularly popular out here with a rough,
very straightforward, precise rhyme style. Did you ever get the Soul Scream
album?

That book was bullshit... plain and simple. Written by people who know Hip Hop,
but planned and edited by people who do not.
