@Shit -- It seems, that if NAS, your idol and/or mentor, doesn't "pony-up" that $200K, and hand it over to Kelis, he-too will be a "guest-of-the-state"; state-jewels optional! ...Nas' "IRS Obligations" NOT-WITHSTANDING!!

So while you're being "thankful for Wayne, and the absence of autotune", we-all can ALSO be thankful for Nas' absence: No-more "a-sad-figure-of-masculinity" upon the wasteland of pop-culture we can find!

X,Y,"and Z" -- OUT!!
