Whatever caused him to delay in the past, is the past. New year. Clean slate. The score is 0 to 0.

Honestly, i thought that D'angelo would've 'offed' himself when he was going through it. He just seems like the type that would want posthumous status and by all means, go about it, by cheating himself into the history books, lol, no offense man. *slaps knee*

Dre's input can certainly mean many things, it's too broad to try and science it down, or box those guys in, as to the possiblities.

One thing though that you will not get from Dre which is the baby-fying of D'angelo like his boy 15. D'angelo went from being the regular old Eugene Archer that i see at the stoplight and kick it with for 10-15 minutes (holding up traffic like a mug) to blossoming into this delicate little flower that only 15 & Tinyteanie can speak to. ALL QUESTONS MUST BE DIRECTED TO 15 FIRST & IF HE DEEMS YOU FIT MAYBE YOU CAN GET TO THE BOSS.
