Deep Thoughts from Bad Rappers

I don’t know if it’s really any one particular organization’s fault or person’s fault. I think that good independent record labels do as much as they can to expose the artists with the budget they might have. Artists like myself refuse to compromise the sound and that leads to the majority of people not being as into it because they want something that’s easily acceptable or stuff they play in the clubs and we’re more into intellectually stimulating stuff. - Esoteric

Still, from '97-'98, the guy did make a few songs ("Headswell" "Be Alert" "Protocol") that were okay, if not necessarily "intellectually stimulating."
