von pea email to 88 keys (12:00am): “can we put cuddle bums on the mixtape? dj soul loves that joint”
88 (12:30am): “well…actually i want that to be on the “adams case files” mixtape first…but we can do another new one!”
von (12:35am): “you gave us another beat not too long ago so i will tell the guys we have to swap cuddle bums out and do that new joint asap! word!”
(thinking to myself…how the hell are we going to do a brand new song by monday night when everyone in the group is unavailable for the weekend??!!??)

(panics to myself)
von to ilwil again (1:15am): “IM WRITING TO THIS JOINT RIGHT NOW! IMA SEND A DEMO OF MY PART! LETS GET IT *HARLEM SHAKING*”
ilyas (1:16am): “word up just email it and text me when you do! ill knock it out (pause on saying “ill knock it out” at 1am)”

[...] all that, and i mix the joint (i hate mixing and i retire from it lol) and send it off to the label to be mastered and whatnot. weeks later 88 isnt satisfied with the jam and still thinks he can do better so we end up recording what became “take the w” on the tanya morgan is a rap group mixtape. thats a story too.
