Like the hook of a catchy song, David Ramsey’s “I Will Forever Remain Faithful,” from the Fall 2008 issue of The Oxford American, lures you in with a promise: 1. Complex magazine: What do you listen to these days? Lil Wayne: Me! All day, all me. As a pick-up line, it works. People uninitiated to Lil [...]
