no one asked you to dick ride voodoo.<P>but, "mr sony/columbia" you could water donnie's plants for all i know (what is your position at sony, since you were "in the office"?). well while you were chilling with donnie, i was actually on the phone with D and Lauryn. i was at the studio with d and lauryn. i know the real reason why she declined to do this record. and trust me it was not the label (perhaps they would resist if she at least did it, but she didn't.)<P>and just because BROWN SUGAR came out in 95 dosn't mean it's taken him 5 years to make. that's like you sayin it took 8 years for the black thought solo record to come out. *since his first joint came out in 92.)
