City Paper Has Something Positive to Say about Wammies
CP
For them it's positive. They mentioned that WAMA didn't include Wale's album on the ballot. We should point out that the album came out after the eligibility period.
We give City Paper 3 Snooze Masks
It's all in fun, we know they don't have time to check facts. We didn't either.
