See,there you go 'insulting' me..
But seriously,putting out a compilation album is something else than putting out your own thoughts and feelings for the whole world to hear. The outlawz have appeared on over 40 million records in the US alone.Was that much of an accomplishment?No,but there are LOTS of people (including you at some point in your life I'm sure) who could relate to what they have said on those records. Also,though they have been blackballed in the music business they continue to struggle to put out independent (without Pacs name on it)records AND sell records and live from the proceedings. THAT is something that should be respected. They are not regular mtv-bling-rappers or something. They actually have a message. If you don't like their music,fine,I can respect that. But don't try to portray them as a bunch of ignorant people because when you really listen to what they say on and off record then you know they were inspired by Pac and they actually learned something from him. Plus they use those lessons to try to live a better,legit life. They spread a positive message. That is something that is more honourable than a certain educational degree. (though I'm sure you have enjoyed a higher form of education)
EQ>IQ
Once more I want to say that I don't dislike you or lack respect for you or anything Dante. You and you're work are amongst the things I enjoy most on this board. But in this particular case I just can't agree with you and I had to speak on it because these 15 year-olds who just started listening to Pac and the Lawz will take over anything the masses say and I think the Outlawz deserve better.
So there..,I hope this can take away any perception of disrespect from your part..
