                    first  of  all;  this  is  NOT  my  new
                    style,  it just  came  up  when  i  was
                    experimenting a  little the  other day.
                    if  it  wasn't  for  the  similarity to
                    a bunch of  other people's styles, like
                    Stezotehic and Zeus, maybe i would have
                    continued to use it. now i wont though.

                    second of all; Black Ark is NOT instead
                    of Aerosol. i did NOT quit, aight. this
                    was  supposed to be  released  before i
                    joined Asl, but after i left A!. that's
                    why i created this Black Ark thing. the
                    fact that my modem is fucked up stopped
                    me from  releasing this in time though,
                    and then i kinda forgot it. now im just
                    rewriting  this  preface  so that i can 
                    release it. maybe i should've done some
                    touch up's and shit, but i'm too lazy..

                    (Black Ark is the name of Lee "Scratch"
                    Perry's old studio in Kingston, Jamaica
                    which he  later on burned down himself.
                    he's a fucking genious, a little insane
                    maybe, but a genious. check  him out!@)
