“There comes a time in everyone’s life when they decide to fall back and we gotta show the young cats the way," DJ Kay Slay told AllHipHop.com. "Its not a retirement, its just a fall back situation. Let them take 80 artists around and call other DJ’s that are supposed to look out for you. I don’t want to be part of the f**k boy s**t anymore. You gotta blow cheese to get people to do anything and its weird. People don’t show love. I don’t want to ask anyone for anything that they don’t feel obligated to do."
