Marek Doniec posted a pow pic a million years ago and captioned it jahpow. I liked the word. I think he posts like every pow pic of himself with jahpow come to think of it.

I pictured you having a Michael Bolton complex about the rapper Danny Brown..

“There WAS nothing wrong with that name until I was about 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammies!”

I was about to comment and tell you I was older than him so had it first, however I just looked at his wikipedia and he’s 7 years older than me. I guess i’ll take solace in the fact that i’ve had an NS account wayyy longer than he’s been famous
