    When we 1st
    put it out (January 14th 2009) some people thought that we were crazy for even putting
    Stanza's name in the same sentence of Andre 3000. Please don't get
    our intentions misconstrued, we have the utmost respect for the work
    and legacy that Andre 3000 has set forth in his career. However we
    feel that Hip Hop is a competitive art form and competition makes or
    breaks greats. Was Allen Iverson being disrespectful to Michael
    Jordan when he broke his ankles when he came into the league? No they we competing to
    be winners. Plus we want to challenge more emcees to strive for
    artistic greatness and not just a hit record.

about

The passion and the spit game Andre showed on this record took me back
to Southern Playalistic Dre. Dude is switching gears with his flow
and just letting the verse be really free form.

"She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm" I'm like,
"Why? " The world needs sun The hood needs funds There's a war going
on and half the battle is guns How dare I throw it on the floor When
people are poor So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord? "
Andre 3000 - "The Art of Story Tellin' Pt 4"

Stanza verse in "Paved" comes of as a man giving his own Eulogy at the
funeral. The verse is really reflective and mesmerizing with a somber
mood.

"I seen it all in threes, death birth and life between, this earth
here, yes it belongs to me, and you too sweet heart, now get smart,
turn the lights on, stop fuckin in the dark, and both breath start
lovin with your heart, cuz ya million and shit when your ass ain't
breathin', retard now you want somebody grievin', but you left them
for the greed" Stanza - "Paved"
