Nice feature, Eddie. Props for doing this. It was pretty cool, although I think Taje could've added more details about certain songs:

- how he came up with a certain concept
- what happened during this or that recording session
- ...

Instead, it was mostly "This song was produced by Dae One...that's my dog". I mean, he did give some insight into several songs, I'm just saying...sometimes it wasn't very informative. Then again, not all songs have a big story behind them, so it's understandable.

It's all good though. Thanks to Taje for doing this too. I wish more rappers would do something similar to this. He seems like a very chill dude. Down-to-earth too. When I'm in L.A. in July '08 I'll definitely try to kick it with him.
