Wasn't he like Kurupt's cousin from Philadelphia or something?

I always thought the "Cassie fan club" stuff was overstated, but 2 first place votes for "Me & U" 0_0

"Me & U" is the one case where Cassie fanboyism is excusable.

lol "Shine Blockas"

xp
oh yeah, I love that song too. I had just thought the Cassie Superfan was kind of an ilm straw man, but the enthusiasm is actually calculable here

Just because there was never a full recap itt

disgustingly low showing for "we belong together"

a wackier list than i remember, tbh. can't imagine some of those placing now if this were redone.

a bit pitchfork-ier than i would've guessed too
