I Got A Great New Album In The Mail Today

A few days ago, someone called me a “Flash from ‘The Five Heartbeats’ lookin-ass n*gga.” So in honor of that randomly ridiculous insult, I am posting this clip of the commercial he was in that got featured on BET every hour on the hour for the better part of a decade: Hey Love! Tweet
