NSFW Lyrics in video DeJuan Blair is a beast.  We know that.  But deep down inside, there’s an inner Luther Vandross trying to get out (how’s that for a current reference?).  That’s DeJuan busting out Drake’s trust issues (this is how it’s supposed to sound).   But as Bloguin’s Project Spurs details quite nicely, this […]
