when i say for me.


meaning to my satisfaction.

when i say consequences, meaning the hip hop i'm accustomed to dosn't appeal to the average joe nowadays

think not?


ask the average joe about "menatally mad".


if they don't get it, then you see what i'm up against.

however, who dosn't want a larger audience? i've been doing this for 10 years, i think it's due time we get to play larger houses that my peers who started on that same level with us in 94 did.

but--in this cliamte of being on universal, i can't call it. if this album flops-- i think it could be curtains. the marketplace is falling apart, and clearly people doing art for arts sake are being totally put out to pasture (see meshell)--

so that is what we are caught in. ask BEP and Jurassic and bilal the headaches that interscope have them going through. i aint complaining. i'm up to the challenge. but this is a whole new game, and i know the rules. it aint fair---but eff it.

did we follow our vison? hell yes
did we comprimise our final vison? fuck no.
did it take forever to make? yep but we got it right.

and that's all that matters
