...I've been waiting for Detox since I finished college, so I'm kinda done waitin'. I know this isn't exactly what you all are discussing, but I think when an artist goes on a lifelong hiatus from his/her fans only leaving a sprinkle here and there, you become no longer interested in whatever it is you anticipated.

There are a lot of albums that leave you sour. Like some of you, Things Fall Apart was not great to me. And Electric Circus was my straw with Common. But you know what? A lotta artists f**k up. If I gave up on Nas after Nastradamus, I'd be one lonely hip-hopper. If you're a true fan of their work, you'll stay loyal...just not always content with what they put out.
