And this goes especially to Jay (and to the rest of ya dissin him). <P>Look, Broke is my man. He's a little extra sometimes but that what I love about. At least he shows his PASSION for the culture he is a part of and loves. I have to respect that about him.<P>He may not have all his facts straight but his heart is in the right place. He has points about doing your shit grassroots and keepin the cheddar in pocket instead of going to a bunch of CEOs and A&Rs and whatnot. While y'all are dissin him he's really trying to look out for Common. I know him personally and I know that he's as big of a Common fan as anyone else on here and he just wants to see Common get what he really deserves as an artists.<P>So before you go jumpin down his throat really think about that shit. Try to understand where he's coming from. And besides, he's more right than he is wrong about this shit.<P>Peace.<P>**********<BR>Crossfaded<P>"I can't keep up w/ the Joneses, I'm on my own shit" - Senim Silla<P>Uplifting and unifying Northwest hip-hop: <a href="http://students.washington.edu/theshow" target="_blank">http://students.washington.edu/theshow<;/a><P>
