"Yep true that...About sums it up.  Oh yea forgot about lost tapes ii...According to Nas it's been finished and ready to go for a minute.  But why do I get the feeling it'll never see the light of day..." - Benin

"Gotta admit, when I first heard this I was like...C'mmon JayZ.  Don't get in the way of a good thing man.   But on the flip side, I know he's looking at the business side of it and looking at gow to give it the type of appeal that will make it sell, swell.   If I could talk to em' I'd be like...That's totally understandable, afterall as the head of the label it's ur job to ensure that everybody get paid.   But the flip side of it is that Jay Electronica has something very unique.  But if u force a sound that aint him on Jay El, then then he's just spent the last seven years of his life building an unreal almost other wordly mystique for nothing.   So it's all about balance man.  In one statement it boils down to this...Instead of trying to give the ppl what u think they want, give em' what they need - Jay Electronica..raw and uncut.  Nuff said." - Benin
