So my question is: why is this tour so short in America, and why does it neglect so much of the country and hit a bunch of random spots instead of rockin Chi or realy anywhere in the midwest. I hope to hear that there will be more tourin after the record release, but it better not just be overseas. I feel neglected, and I'm sure my fellow Chicagoans would agree. Last year I drove from Richmond to B-more and the show was dope, but I'm not about to drive to any of the nearest cities to where I go to school (in chicago) since that would mean going to brooklyn. Anyone else feel this way? -

I haven't heard of any dates overseas, it doesn't make sense that they would neglect Chicago, Miami, anywhere in Texas, Seattle, etc. -

The P is a global brand, and they have a lot of ground to cover. Quit your moaning, I'm lucky if i see a good hip hop act once a year where I live, even in my whole goddam country, and you yanks are spoilt for choice with the gig scene. -

We show where we show up for whatever reason.
It's really simple: If you want to see us in Chicago, then make sure everyone in Chicago tells the guy who throws hip hop shows in town to BOOK PUTS. Because if he doesn't we aren't going to just blow through town and play at your local bar, ya feel me? We go where we get booked.
THis isn't a tour. It's a few shows on the east coast because we got booked. We'll play Chi-Town, you jsut got to give the promoters there time ot realize they NEED to book the P - we don't show up, knock on the door and start rockin' unanounced.
HELL IF ANYONE DESERVES A GOOD P SHOW ITS THE UK
but we're not going to just fly over and start rapping in front of big ben...they got to book us. (So call Jazz Cafe and tell them to get they ass in gear!)
its just business, nothing personal. And for the record we do about 1 show a year in LA.Thats it.

Yeah yeah, I hope you and the family are doing well. It's been a minute, my brother. -
