unfortunately, there are a lot of people that dis things they don't really
understand--including myself. i'm sure gregg in particular has said a *lot*
of things that make him look like an idiot.

aa> Gil Scott-Heron in a Source interview saying that hip-hop artists
aa> should learn how to play instruments. Maybye he wasn't sampled a lot
aa> so he ain't gettin' phat checks...

interestingly enough, one of the cuts on his '93 album "spirits" was not
only
produced, but also *written* by ali shaheed muhammed--along w/gil, of
course.
if you want to check it out it's called "don't give up" and features *no
samples*.
