i don't support? just cuz i don't make it out to shows as much as i used to (mainly because money is tighter than ever and i hate asking for guest list)... and even though i got free promos of everything from Phrenology on... I still bought copies of everything (Phren and TTP on vinyl, and I even bought a GT CD even though I had boxes of them at my disposal)

well muhfuckas don't buy shit (i could end the sentence here, but there's more) blindly anymore. since they aren't getting to hear anything on radio, or see a video on BET or VH1 Soul (even the GT trilogy got played a lot on there!) how are they gonna know what they're buying?

nah, i just get confused by a lot of what goes on in The Roots world.
confused and frustrated.
i want y'all to win so bad but from the outside, sometimes it seems almost like self-sabotage.
