    Favorite Songs/Music?

    I listen to Eminem, 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Body Head Bangerz, Juicy J, and Bad Meets Evil, amongst others. I'm feeling like the odd man out here. But I also listen to a lot of Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, and lots of other country, so I guess that balances out the hardcore rap. Rap to...

    Army ROTC first round stats
