naw, what i'm saying is ?uest is ridiculous with making excuses for artists he's collaborated with but it he hasn't effed with 'em yet, they get the gavel and book thrown @ them. i mean, this is the guy who said Pete Rock was disposable and JayDee was the illest hip-hop producer ever. i just think dude gets carried away. someone posted about not liking the singing in "Thought At Work"... ?uest responded "there's nothing wrong with Tariq's singing...". and the fallback response to someone not liking okaymaterial is usually "well, you're not ready yet, blahblah".

My original response was made before i got to listen to "Blazing Arrows", and i stopped after half of it. man, was i disappointed. I'd already heard "Make You Feel That Way", "Chemical Calistenics" and "Release", and was hyped. But, Man, the joints with Jurassic 5, Keke Wyatt, and Jaguar SUCKED! why were there so many collabs, Gab is ill in his own right, and works better alone. "First In Flight" was an extremely redeeming moment in the lp, though. it was just insane hearing Gil-Scott and Gift of Gab on the same song. damn.

but this is supposed to be one of the most original joints of the year? come on, man, the same week MF Grimm dropped, which i can't WAIT to get after hearing "Break Em Off" and "Words". now THAT's some next shit.

i'm just sick of listening to boring hip-hop because it's supposed to be smart music or something. where's the adrenaline? tempos, people, TEMPOS!!@!!

whatever.
