Pure, unblemished, beautiful genius; the closest thing the world has seen to classic hip-hop since Jay-Z.
Me: Have you heard it yet?

Anyone: What?

Me: Fort Minor?

Anyone: Why?

Me: Because your life, quite simply, isn't complete yet.

Fort Minor - An old Fort, that was only Minor.

Whoops wrong definition...

Fort Minor - A side project created by Mike Shinoda. Featuring Styles of Beyond.

And if you havn't heard of Fort Minor and or hate them: Don't talk to me, we can't be friends anymore. Stop staring at me! Stop crying! -walks away-
For to knowing of what this is I have examples.

If you watch MTV they often show the music video 'Where'd You Go'. That is Fort Minor.
(And these are from 'The Rising Tied)
There are other songs like,

Remember The Name
Red To Black
Petrified
Believe Me

(There are more but I am to lazy to contnue the list)
