Has anyone wasted their buzz more than this guy? There are cases of guys whose buzz died due to circumstances out of their control - such as Deck's album getting destroyed during the flooding of RZA's basement - but I can't think of anyone just wasting buzz like this. Dude had Hot 97 playing a hardcore hip hop record WITH NO HOOK, and he wasn't even from NY. Nas, Diddy, Q Tip, Just Blaze, etc etc were all in his corner ready to work, ready to help...and he didn't do shyt.
D'Angelo released an album before this dude...
