I actually love his sentiment about The Fragile right there. Trent's always had a bit of sarcasm with the despair in his music - it's not a new thing, but I'm only realizing recently because I've only been a fan from 2005 onward. LOL but the only hip-hop relevance could be Dr. Dre's input on "Even Deeper" and the rest of the less-rock band, more-beats-heavy songs.
