Is the Hip Hop Industry Dirtier Than the Dope Game?

As has been well publicised, former top D-Block prospect J-Hood has left the label's fold over the constant delays in the release of his debut LP, "Tales From The Hood". Styles P. recently spoke to MTV.com about the split:

"I don't understand Hood though, because Hood came up to me before all the stuff on the Internet," Styles said. "He was unhappy. I got love for Hood. He came up under us, he was unhappy, his album wasn't out. So I was like, 'Cool, you want out, there's no fine. I'll go talk to the lawyers, no problem.' A week later, I see the Internet stuff, him dragging the D-Block chain. It's dumb."

Styles went on to say that while the group supported Hood's leaving, The Lox would personally hand his music to DJ's and the response was lukewarm resulting in the release delays.

Styles P. will release his new solo album, Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman, in the coming months.
