Okay, I can role with this post, ?uesto.

But Rich's response was out of hand. That shit ain't gonna win anymore people into agreeing or supporting. If anything, that shit is gonna turn more and more people off. Plus, how old is he? 5?

People talk, but that's the internet. I understand its frustrating, but if you have your manager up here making things worse, less people are gonna wanna support. Maybe we're not as supportive as you wish, but if you piss all the OKPs off and they all decide to stop supporting (and buying the album), then The Roots career is done. Cause we're all you got.

Maybe we're not as many as you (and we) wish, but it's better than nothing.

I think the OKP to OK Artist relatioship DOES need to improve, but it's not one-sided (aka, just OUR fault).
