That's a very good interview: Unlike those unfortunate others, after years and years, all of the great Detroit producers have stuck together, according to Derrick. "I think that we did pretty well for Detroit. We stuck together, we've been really united on the front. There comes a time when you have to open up and play hardball with people, because if you don't, they will look you over and they will move on. And that's where we are now; we stayed underground for many years in Detroit. We stuck close to the front. But now, we have to start to comprehend and realize what's happening in the industry, and if we don't start playing some ball, we're out. They've found other ways to move without us now. The music doesn't need Detroit anymore. The music doesn't need Chicago anymore. What we do is respect it and consider it always at the forefront, but it's not considered necessary anymore. So at some point we have to realize and we have to say, "Now, we have to open our doors and evolve." They've figured out ways to move on and evolve without us."
