first of all, Gab and Chief sold 100,000 copies of "nia", so his rep as a lyricist is well established for those in the know. And As far as saying Quest influenced the album, how so when Xcel did the vast majority (if not all) of th production. it's not like Soulquarians did the boardwork. In fact, I thought Quest only drummed on one joint. What are you talking about?
