Huh ? You just said he "decided not to get into it" but then said you'd "heard both sides" ?!? Which one is it homie. Can't be both.

Uhhhh cool story ? When did I say otherwise ?

He did all but one song on The Listening and all but 2 on The Minstrel Show. So miss me with this "not one" patronizing bullshit, acting as if 9th was just a small part of a stable of producers for LB on those first two albums or something.

Anyway to the point, something tells me he'd have been willing to give up a track or two on this album just like he did back then, but in Pooh and Tay's own words they were pushing for a bunch of different producers submitting beats. A 50/50 split (or similar split) is far different than a stray beat or two.

Huh ?


>I mean...Phonte and Pooh made every effort to make this work.

You know this for a fact ? Or you just taking Tay and Pooh at their word without hearing the other side ? Honest question.
