That's the feeling I got as well-- and hey, don't worry about it-- I'm
offensive 24/7, I just thought I wasn't being *that* offensive when I first
wrote you!
I guess it kind of sprung from my feeling that Blue Note has such a
mediocre history in the hip-hop crossover dept., that anyone still
surprised that something they put out in that area was blow-worthy at this
late date kind of missed the bus-- and that, on some level, Blue Note (the
idealized "greatest jazz label ever" that only exists in the history books
now, mind) shouldn't be held too accountable for their crossover cheez,
when we all know what to expect from them on that front by now-- and of
course, they *should* be held accountable for crappy releases. But then
again, I would've probably felt the same way about their house/jungle
crossovers until recently, so I'm just a jaded old crank when you come down
to it--
