When Men Break Up, Its Interesting.

I first noticed it when Dame was talking about J in New York magazine
last year.

There is very little ink on the topic in our culture
and that is precisely why I am so interested in it.

Men fall out and have funk like us,
but to hear ya'll tell it, MEN ARE SIMPLE and
women are complicated.

You wanna see complicated?
Try getting dude to talk about his feelings.

THAT shit is complicated.

Which brings us to the Pete rock interview
on Hip Hop DX.
Paul Arnold asks P about CL. P responds,

I’m still here. I’ve put out 3 solo albums since the split. I’m here giving people the thing they missed [after we broke up], which is Pete Rock’s music. Without the music you couldn’t sell a C.L. Smooth acapella album. So my thing is it’s the music that the people love. I don’t take anything away from him; he’s definitely dope and everything like that. But it was the music that the people loved, and I’m here to keep giving it to them.

Is it really the lack of lyrics. OR. Is it that CL ain't play his
position correctly, with regard to managing his career.

Full disclosure, I listen to (at least I use to when it was feasible)
Main Ingredient 2-3 times a week. And I bought two of the CL jawns
from Itunes.

Plus. I burned borrowed a copy of all the PR's sh*ts from my boy
Jase from Yonkers. Whuttup Jase,
how does it feel to be Almost Hitched? Im on my way
too. <<
Back to the interview.

Then.

Old boy, went for the junior gristle.

HHDX: Right now 9th Wonder is refusing to answer any questions regarding his split from Little Brother. Do you think the fans are owed a detailed explanation of why their favorite group broke up?
Pete Rock: Oh yeah definitely, they have a right to know. And the explanation [for our breakup] is we don’t get along, period. We made a mark on the music world. And I’m sorry to the fans that we had to part, but things like that happen as you grow older. We grew apart from each other and that’s the bottom line. I’m not gonna speak bad about him, but it is what it is.

THEN Arnold twists the knife re- NAS and CARM.

HHDX: And do you want to say anything about the long-standing rumors regarding you and his ex, Carmen Bryan, having a relationship? You wanna touch any of that?
Pete Rock: Nah, I don’t wanna touch any of that. There’s nothing to touch. I don’t even know the person you’re talking about.

HHDX: Do you think the fans thirst for knowledge about an artist’s private life is starting to supersede their actual interest in the music itself?
Pete Rock: Yeah, because it’s not about people’s private lives. It’s about the talent that we have. When you talking to me about stuff like that, it disinterests me. I don’t even wanna talk anymore after you asking me stuff like that. It’s really none of your business what goes on in someone’s personal life. But to say something about that incident, I don’t even know her. I’ll say it again. I don’t know that woman. Obviously, he thinks I know her because he hasn’t spoken to me in 14 years. And if that’s the reason, I think that’s real stupid of him. And you can quote me saying that.

HHDX: And that’s the type of clarification I’d like to get out there. I mean, you don’t know me, but me personally I don’t give a shit about none of this.
Pete Rock: And he don’t know me either. And my thing is get to know me before you start accusing me, thinking the wrong thing. ‘Cause cats out here are haters. No one wants to see me and him get together. Me and him getting together defeats the purpose of anyone else trying to do beats for him, ‘cause I go hard with my music. And when cats try to compete, they can’t fuck with me! So that’s the only reason why I think somebody started that [rumor]. It was a diversionary tactic for me and him to not work together.

Thats what I call an innerview.
Um.
Gotty.

I.Want.My.Blackalicious. Innerview. N*gga!
