Dude. It might've been ONE song or an EP. We'll never even know.

All I'M saying is as a fan of a band that I can get into contact with, I would call them to do something, if I'm in that position. Ice T just threw some shit together and hoped for the best.

THAT'S my point. They weren't even good.

I just think

No, but if you're doing someting that they're good at, why NOT give them a look. Especially if you have the leverage to do it? Rappers put other acts on all the time.
