This is dope! Who knew that solar-powered cell phones even existed. I wish I had one of these joints… I would never have to worry about my phone dying while “touching the town”.
One does have to wonder how efficient these phones actually are. What would be even better is a solar-powered skype phone
. 🙂 A phone like that would make you a lot of gwop.-!YG
Today we officially start counting down to the Winter Music Conference in South Beach. We have 15 days until we make it pop. Get used to hearing a lot dancing music if your not into it. I was conferring with one of my dudes about last year’s conference and the story he recanted amp’d me up.
Those of ya’ll who were in Basel this past December already know how we get down. No sleep, beach and a fun a*& time. Shout out to my peeps in Dade County. I’m officially fasting from drinking and partying… The whole 9 yards until the 25th. 🙂 -!YG
