I was with some of my peoples and we were listening to this Rae jawn Pete Rock did "Kid's That's Rich" and cats were losing their mind! And I'm like "it's aiight" and they're like "it's Pete Rock" and I'm like "so? It's just aiight"...But for them it's Pete Rock...you can't say a Pete Rock track is aiight, and I'm like "wow, that's where we are now huh?" But I've been in the convos a million times with cats. Like it's taboo to say a Dilla beat was just aiight and truth be told, some of them were...but why do cats do that? Is the producer or mc's name SO big that the listeners don't even have an opinion anymore?

It reminds me of a story back when my man was A&Ring for Sauce Money and Primo gave him a track and he played it for us and we ALL were like it's cool but if ya'll paying for it you need to go back and get a banger. And my man was like "how do you tell Primo you don't like a beat" and I'm like just tell dude...and he came back with the Against the Grain track and we were like "now that's what I'm talking about"! But the moral was, my man was like how do you reject a Primo beat and I'm like if you don't like it, you don't like it but don't settle...I don't care who it is!

Mess with MOP's "Rude Bastard"? Get @ me for some heat...

I hear everything you're sayin, a name is just a name but when it comes down to it music should speak for itself.
