one of my all-time fav groups period, not just hip hop. damn so many great songs on that list. need to listen to them all this afternoon. manager isnt in so shouldnt be an issue having an earplug in.

recently-discovered letter from Tupac where he planned an East/West album

In a recently unveiled handwritten letter likely written in the mid-Nineties, Shakur tells a friend about a planned "group album" called ONE NATION that would have featured Outkast, Scarface, E-40, Buckshot, the Outlawz, Greg Nice and Smif-n-Wessun, Okayplayer reports.
.
.
While the ONE NATION project sounds too epic to be true, Okayplayer confirmed the album's original plan with drummer-producer Questlove, who says the Roots were also approached to take part in this all-star LP during the mid-Nineties.
