who said Jay Dee was the "Howard Roark" of anything?
I think real fans know that he was scratching to get more high-profile work more than anyone else. A lot of his closest associates have said as much. Why do you think ?uest basically built the church? LOL

Especially compared to Madlib, who seems more than content to do what the hell he wants on Stones Throw, and still make a living off it.

I'm interested in seeing bammer's take on this.

(and why he decided to cite a character in a book written by The Queen of American Assholia, albeit before she disappeared into her own colon)
