not being a smart ass at all but what else could he release? I think he should retire the RBL name as a group like Run DMC did. Just my option.
It's cool, no offense taken. Black C. said (in MURDER DOG) that he was going to put out a new CD of songs w/ himself and Hitman that had been recorded, but not yet released. He indicated that THAT CD would be the last RBL CD, which makes sense--solo CDs (like the one he has coming up), collabs (like the one he did with Taydatay) and releases of fellow Right Way artists (i.e. Young Thugz, Military Minded, N.O.H. as a duo or solo, etc.) would probably be the best way for him to go in the future.
It was tough enough for some folks (myself included) to accept RBL after Mr. Cee's death--his name was so specific to RBL's image that I had a hard time spinning AN EYE FOR AN EYE and HOSTILE TAKEOVER at first, although I grew to love both of them after awhile (and Hitman was part of that, since he filled in Mr. Cee's space well, IMHO). In a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if fans consider those two CDs to be just as classic as '92-96 RBL!
But with Hitman now gone, I don't know if Black C. could find any one single individual that fans would be able to accept as RBL per se, since most think of RBL as a duo. And dope as they all are, Prime Minister, Military Minded, N.O.H., Young Thugz and the others have their own things going, so to speak.
But whatever C. puts out, I know it'll be meaningful and musically bumpin'. Can't wait. PEACE!
