Well, I'll say this, you know, Toya's B.I.G. didn't listen to anybody. He knew what he was doing and he did it. You just kind of sat and watched with him, especially when I was around him. But LL Cool J, there's a reason why he's been able to stay consistent and be successful is because he encourages direction. He wants to hear your point of view. He wants to hear what you're thinking to help him.

And I think that's what allowed him to have
