- This is *probably* true. I don't know the details of Cube's record contract
- so I can't comment as to whether or not he can distribute on other labels.
- But I suspect he can't due to standard operating procedure. However, that's
- why I qualified my statement with "You can't do that, this stuff is
- indecent." Now if they saidn "You can't do that, you have a contract with
- us." then his ass is over a barrel.
-
- Still not censorship though.
