I thought getting some musicians to play stuff was cheap. Black Milk is doing that, doesnt make sense to me. Theres a lot of producers out there who make fire beats and they not on some Kanye budget. So I kinda feel like that was an excuse. I mean maybe we not gonna get another TROY or The World Is Yours, but I feel like if Pete Rock is really a top producer he should still be able to make beats better than that subpar stuff he's been slinging (regardless of sampling laws).
