...go cmpletely back to your '92, '93 era production style. 'Cause right now, Pete Rock sounds liek someone else trying to sound like Pete Rock. And the results have been thin and watered down.

Also, find another MC to get behind and mentor in the game. The ship with CL has sailed already. I don't think anyone would really be pleased with the results of a new Pete/CL album at this point. Either find a young, hungry cat, or someone fairly established on the underground level (I'm thinking one of the dudes in The U.N.), link up with him/her, and record an album together.
