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
Both of their verses they were getting at women. Andre's was slick
and witty and Stanza's was direct, raw and to the point. After
listening to these verses over and over I have to say that Andre's
verse comes off as youthful and playful against Stanza's grown man
direct approach. Where Dre's was poetic and colorful Stanza's was
more real world. I could hear myself saying Stanza's verse to a woman
in a certain circumstance over what Dre was saying.
"Heh so what you doin' when you leave, I can imagine you doin' it with
me, Cool, excuse put those clues in your purse cuz later I'm taking
off your skirt, maybe, if your lucky, I'll let you fuck me, and return
the favor and taste all of your flavors" - Stanza "So Fly"
