Out of key solos...
As some know..it jazz circles, momentary out of key notes in a progression
are known as accidentals...could be that the envelope was pushed then
broken. I remember when out of key singing was common in rap records, as the
movement was blowin up, though as a musician, that didn't move me...
If the album is going back to Arista until the drop date, hopefully some
cleansing will take place. I didn't really taste "Amplified" at all...but
always like 'Tip's lyrical flow...
