Just saying the man wasn't around/available to work, for whatever reasons. A decade later and he poppin up on albums isn't exactly what I would call being done dirty. it's not like he was trying to work and they completely shut the door on him.

From people that I know that know her, she's the average Philly hood crazy chick. How that translates to her business, no idea, but she's airing out people she hasn't been involved with for over 15 years, that have not mentioned her, and apparently had no involvement since that time...and these stories are from that period.

So you have no point.

Whatever man. If the man can't be around to work/be on tour constantly, how can he participate in whatever they have going on? If they're still working with him after he left the group, finding ways for him to eat, they aren't doing him dirty...which is what you said. He wasn't completely exiled, and going by what Jaguar was saying, it would seem if they didn't fukk with you, they didn't fukk with you at all. He hasn't even been seen around the Philly circuit in a couple of years.

Musiq didn’t hold back, and he was calling nikkas out. Apparently, The Roots tried to get several other singers to sing “Break You Off”, despite the fact that Musiq helped create the song in a jam session with them. After they got stood up or turned down by a bunch of different artists, they were like, “well we might as well have Musiq do it.” Quest pretty much kept saying on the podcast that “we (the Roots) aren’t the best communicators.”

That’s kind of a lame excuse, especially when you’re dealing with people who had loyalty to you. All the people I mentioned are from Philly, and know the Roots members beyond the industry shyt. We already know Quest is a lying ass nikka from the Rosario Dawson thread.

There's nothing wrong with the Musiq situation. It's their album so if they decided they wanted someone else to do the vocals that's their decision. As long as he gets credited with whatever writing he contributed.

Even on You Got Me, the label pushed for Badu to be on the official release, which makes sense given how huge she was during that period.

nikkas fukking anything that moves isn't really news to me
The biggest bombshells to me was Dice Raw ghost writing for Black Thought and the implications that QuestLove is a c00n ass industry nikka who will throw any of his day 1s under the bus for an industry look :scust:


My friend sister use to be black thought beat piece and she use to always say Black thought would run around the house butt naked after he nutted. Like running full speed like dude in Get Out. :mjlol: That would make sense maybe if dude is heavy on drugs, I was waiting to see if Jaguar threw that in there

that's the least surprising thing.
