God loves a cheerful giver.

One track: "To a Black Boy", produced by Danger Mouse from the Free Design remix album. Perfect song, perfect rhymes.
Plus, I really want a Zune. Seriously!
Murs should be president because when I first saw him live(years ago), he played "Track 6" from Murs Rules the World and if it was his campaign song he would definitely get every male vote.
He is the only rapper with his own music festival. Each album he releases sells more than its predecessor. He toured the world without having a major record deal.
Enough said!
Murs should be president because he truly is saving hip hop from the evil clutches of T-Pain and Akon. Without Murs, I'd still have Bartender stuck in my head.
cause i've had Murs in my library for months and i've never listened to him, and that's how my president should been, seen but not heard.... ?
Obviously, Murs should be prez b/c his hair says more than his mouth ever would
by nature of the experiences MURS has accrued from his LA upbringing, undoubtedly he is the most competent candidate to deal with issues such as dependency, arms races, and economic crises...i.e. reality
Zunes are awesome. Yeah the name is a little cheesy but the devices themselves are pretty sweet. The software is also purty danged nice.
Not a plant for MS or anything, I just like Zunes...
my third ipod just shit the bed on me so i'd be very open to giving a zune a work out, really don't feel like buying ipod every 16 months
Because M.U.R.S - MAKES UNDERGOUND RAW SHIT and was member of the best hip hop group the LIVING LEGENDS
