Celebrating my least favorite kid #TheTippingPoint (ok lemme rephrase that) 2004 was a really tough year. But I can’t be all “celebrate Buck Moon/turn new leaf” & then stick to old narratives of “failure” & “meh”——so there ALOT of lessons to learn.
Most of our records have alt covers. For 2004s TTP we had 15 covers to choose once we got a rejection from the Ali estate to use his photo (also prevented of using the Malcolm X photo on the explicit version of the lp) designed by our longtime designer since #ThingsFallApart @gravillisinc ——I remember we wanted a disjointed cover where @TheRoots (or the title) was cut off.
(@geffenrecords was NOT with it)—-I gotta find the remaining covers but yeah—-happy 18th! 7/13/04 The Tipping Point.
