Yup. I vaguely remember Jay Tee telling MURDER DOG (back in '99 when SLIGHTLY PIMPISH was coming out) that TL (at that time) "just wasn't feeling the Rap thing anymore" or something like that. Which is certainly TL's prerogative--if your heart's not in something, you shouldn't do it...
I think TL's been touring w/ Jay Tee again in recent months, though, so that might bode well for the future (in terms of another possible N2Deep CD with the original crew).
PEACE!
