when i chat with folks on soulseek i tell them i'm from lansing, mi. an hour northwest of detroit. now i guess i can just say detroit, since i started moving my belonging to hamtramck last weekend, yea i know its not detroit. malcolm also live in mason mi. after his father was murdered. which i think has more to do with the detroit red tag, he hated lansing. but then lansing like flint have something incomon with detroit, the automotive industry. so in that since they are one with GM. scotto lansing, mi. --->>> hamtown slsk: plaztikjezuz
