I bet he'll be sporting it within the next 2 months :D Maybe for his next Disney gig. Heel, maybe they even make him a resident there, keeps him out of the club circuit as well and makes going out worthwhile again!

ahahahah the mocap rap.... so hurting.

Re: What the?.... would you use this as a DJ?

someday though, we'll all be doing shit like that instead of playing records :lol:

Re: What the?.... would you use this as a DJ?

Re: What the?.... would you use this as a DJ?

i could maybe see rabbit in the moon using it or another "live" act but not a dj... at least not for a whole set.
