you're wrong brother there is so much lost, the notes in the album are part of the roots experience. Gettin your hands on the album for the first time, sitting down with your headies, a blunt and the linear notes, going from start to finish is 'the ultimate' hip hop experience.

Hip Hop isn't poetry, the lyrics should be interpreted around the beat whilst listening, (even better whilst reading the notes) so I dont need the lyrics. But to get inside ?uest's head and inside the song is something I will never be able to do (unless the roots are lookin for a new bass player?!) without the linear notes...
