I do believe he wants to rap again. I personally think he NEEDS to rap. So when Royce says he feels like there was still hope to get Joe in the booth I belive him.
But being narccisitc and a control freak, he was ever only going to do it on his terms. Crooking trying to run point on the business end is exactly why he wasn't calling him back.
No reason for Joell or Crook to wait around and acomidate Joe, just drop ANOTHER joint album as yourselves. Centering the content and promo around SH just makes it look like some petty, messy, scorned divorcee shyt. None of that negates how big of a chump Joe is for quitting on the group or rap in general.
I disagree. Joell and Crooked have any and all right to address the situation. It basically haunts them, and, if all this is going on lately, then it's their life, and why shouldn't artists talk about their life? Isn't that the point? Plus, they can answer a gang of the same questions they've been answering for years. Also, they have a right to make bread off a brand they spent years cultivating. Just because Joe and Royce don't need SH money, it shouldn't be closed off to Joell and Crook, that's unfair.
Joe, and to a degree, Royce are acting mad divaish. They also look content to watch their two alleged "brothers" not get theirs from all that work they put in the years in SH. If Joe is "bigger than anything they're doing", why does he care of the use the logo and sell merch with the logo? Sounds like bullshyt.
