matters, but:

Post nothing else about him or his comments in our house.
We've all been okayplayers long enough to we keep our doors closed to keep roaches and rats out.

--a bit close minded on your part don't you think??? because the man calls something he sees in a different way than the way you see it, it's all or nothing?

He talks about MY CREW being a contradiction, but HE's the one talking of shooting and causing bodily harm to his brotheren, BUT HE'S GOT "GOD'S SON" tatt'ed on his belly. What?... F*ck you.

--Nas really wasn't FAR off in this sense. The Roots perfoming with Jay-Z is at least more of contradiction that Nas will ever be. I mean, let's be honest...the Roots have been more or less outspoken against all the jiggy/iced-out/thug-playa for the better part of their careers. Then, to collab with the reigning king of the jiggy/iced-out trend...I mean, I like Jay so it's not a knock on him but basically you've just gone against what you stand for because you're helping him sell albums that promote the lifestyle you've spoken-out against (and in true "scratch-my-back/scratch-your-back" fashion the Roots will probably sell more albums). As for Nas, he's always been kicking a bit of knowledge on one track, and then talking about killin/money/girls on the next. He's really not contradicting shit cuz he's been like that...no one was screaming contradiction on Illmatic, nah mean?

Are you a "PROPHET" or out for "PROFIT". Don't make 'Q.B.' stand for "Quit Bitchin". Prolly already does.

--If you're not in the music BUSINESS for the business, then it's just a fucking hobby, so this point is moot. The Roots want money just like Nas. Shit I want money like my manager at my job. You need money...face it.

Just ME talkin, and in THAT, I act alone.

-- My thoughts exactly.

Peace.
