2962040, why are tip (and others) not putting any music out?

8 years since the renaissance. IIRC, the last zulu was supposed to come out in late 2014. oops...

when dre said tribe and outkast were talking about puting an album out, i didn't believe for one second that anything would ever come of it.

the funny thing, in interviews, tip always talks about being a studio rat, living and breathing the music, and into this until the day he dies. i understand he has the occasional feature or co-production credit. but seriously, not a single solo track, ep, much less new album in 8 years? you would think he'd put music out more often. talib kweli style. on his own terms.

now tip has an excellent body of work (minus some questionable cuts from amplified and his open sessions, if you ask me). there are legends who continue to put music out to this day, and those who don't, despite talking it up all the time.

are they afraid to taint their legacy with a mediocre release?
