cool. As a musician myself it never ceases to amaze me how a scale limited in notes can produce so much wonderment and fulfillment. I appreciate the way you guys sound within those notes. I, of course am enamoured of Brandon's lyrics which at first seem contrived, but at second glance reveal a poignant vulnerability, wit, and biting sarcasm. How difficult is it for you to shift from hip hop to full on rock? Do you find that the personalities in each genre differ, and cause you to re-balance yourself (I mean, hanging with black thought has gotta be different than hanging with Axl). Was it awkward for you at first?

Tangent: that video is.......damn nnear biblical. loved it.

And Ben, your courage, honesty, and integrity are to be admired. I mighta said I wasnt feelin well and wound up on tour with the "I" LOL
