>>Is there a problem with the RZA ?
yep. he's kind of strange these last days ; a little before doing his Bobby digital shit, in fact...
>>is he not prolific enough?
sales weren't that good enough on this same Bobby stuff... maybe this means that...
>>is he on crack?
are you kidding? i was thinking it was Rza who was sellin' crack on a worldwide level...
>>or does RAE wanna go multplatinum.
probably. oh, and by the way, refering to a past message, i DO have something against Nas or Raekwon. in fact, in 94, when i first bought "illmatic" from nas, it was my year favorite, or near, even the big samples were kind of "stealling" instaed of "creating". anyway, the lp was good. shit, what is worth than nas, in so-called hip hop, now (except Puff, who's the number one big guy out there)?
peace & respect (except puff & nas) (and mc solaar...) 8')
