…Plans for a new Slum Village…
From 2002 to 2010 you had that era of Slum when El was a part of the group. Problems started around the Villa Manifesto EP time. At this time they threatened to take me out of the group. I had the feeling they were trying to brand a new Slum Village at this time and take it in a direction which was more like a pop kind of fanbase. Don’t get me wrong- I think Slum will always make great music, but those popfans don’t know nothing about the Slum Village legacy or Dilla, Baatin and me. They just care about songs played in the radio.
