Jul 6, 2008 - Your comment is appreciated. Please be aware this 12 minute segment was edited from nearly an hour of footage. Mr. Ware and Mr. Legend have continued to spend time with one another since this first interaction. The forthcoming documentary will feature appearances from George Clinton, Raheem DeVaughn and others who all have nothing but love for Mr. Ware.

Mr. Ware also wrote for Omar and Loose Ends, top that!Rather than overpontificating on his still developing artistic voice. Let the genius speak and you take notes, yung boi...
