Don't Say Nuttin was the worst thing to happen to The Tipping Point.
The perception of the album changed to a commercial album with 'The Roots' songs.
In reality, the album is solid but the two commercial songs, Don't Say Nuttin and Duck Down bring down the craftsmanship of the album.
I know that the only way the album got made was that Jimmy Iovine loved the demo of Don't Say Nuttin but in retrospect maybe the best outcome was for Jimmy to drop the band and then have the band sign with Def Jam.
I don't think they were wrong to pass up on the star treatment that Interscope offered then tho. Just my thoughts.
