I wouldn't say far-fetched, necessarily, but if there were three batches like you said earlier, it just makes more sense to me that the Supa songs came from Richie's stockpile.
Assuming you mean Billy Falcon, and that he's just an example, I see a couple of differences. First, Falcon is all over their catalog, kinda like Desmond used to be; while Supa's songs all seem to be related to Crush (which just happens to follow on the heels of Undiscovered Soul). Second, I think Richie bringing writers into sessions 'the same way Jon did' assumes a certain equity in their partnership that I once believed existed, but that I doubt more and more as time goes on (and Jon keeps talking.)  I believe it may have been more balanced at one time, but I'm beginning to think that, starting maybe as far back as KTF, there's been a world of shit that Jon does, that doesn't necessarily work both ways.

I do hear what you're saying but there's a lot of passive aggressive jabs that makes it sound like you're turning how you view their relationship into something more complicated. I truly believed TMOAGT came from sessions with Richie until more and more songs popped up co-written by Supa in the same era. It's just more likely the three of them did it than all of them came from sessions with Richie because Jon rips people off.
