*Like, my album is underground. Demigodz is super underground. But Get Busy Committee is gonna be something really fuckin’ crazy. We have Topspin Media behind us. We have [\[Mike\] Shinoda](/source/Mike_Shinoda) behind us. We got the dudes at [MySpace](/source/MySpace) Music heavily behind us. So Get Busy Committee is gonna be something else...[And] if you don’t like it, I don’t know what to tell you.*[1]
