I digged this quote from Slug:
Music-Critic.com: "I wanted to ask you how you felt about more popular TRL type hip-pop, like Ja Rule?"
Slug: "I’m fine with it. I used to be all about "fuck the mainstream," but now it’s not like that. If the beats are bad and the voice is bad and it’s detrimental to hip-hop then I won’t like it. But if the beats are good, and it sounds good, then it doesn’t matter. Ja Rule’s good at what he does. I just feel like hip-hop is a tree; I’m on one branch of it and he’s on another, but it’s all rooted in the same spot."
