Yea totally agreed. Glad to know it wouldn't necessarily be like, a sign of disrespect to him to have Madlib do the job. And sounds like we agree that Madlib would def do a better job hah.

I posted about this before but man oh man - HiTek was on a fast track to be in the GOAT producer conversation. Then he fell apart. Almost inexplicably. His early work, up through maybe HiTeknology2, was nearly impeccable. His Rawkus work is just mind-numbingly good.
