make arista records release Q-tip's masterpiece "kamaal the abstract". the album was to be released in april 2002, but the release was cancelled due to the fact, that the record label deemed the album too "un-commercial." its currently just available on "promos", that became rare and expensive collector's items. lets make it official!! sign the petition. 

count is at about 10.600 now. shouldn't that be enough already?!   that story definitely reminds me of darc mind's DEBUT album "symtomatic of a greater Ill". this one was not released by loud records back in 1997. just one track (visions of a blur) appeared on "soul in the hole" soundtrack and was released on 12" back then. it was

one of my favourites tracks at that time but noone ever heard anything more about them. 9 years later, anticon made the whole thing available for general public. i think "darc mind" (mc kevroc, x-ray and nick wiz) would definitely have been another classic among names like oc, mobb deep, das efx, diamond d and all the other sounding names of mid, late 90ties. i don't want to know, how annoying it must be to make a (debut) album, which is a pure deep stoic-silent banger and not released!
