ok, having read this, i partially rescind my comment.  i still
think it's wack that there is virtually no visibility for this
album outside of a few viral videos that have hit the net. 
Last time I peeked at the Def Jam production schedule (which I
don't think they still know I get on a weekly basis), NOTHING
HAS BEEN SHIPPED TO RADIO.  I mean, I know radio probably
wouldn't play whatever you guys sent them, but damn... they
gave up that quick?   

I got the Giant Step mp3 blast... which was cool
(ACAPELLAS!!!!!)

but y'all got three videos that are already out there... Have
they been serviced to the traditional TV channels?

If it weren't for this website, I wouldn't know a new album is
on the way.

>8) Justin Scott .... groundbreak this dick in your mouth

You didn't let me down, Rich!

>9) brain ..i think i found your L. you can have it back

I got plenty of them in my damn-near-10-years-on-this site.  I
don't need another one.
