It'll be out next week already. I've pre-ordered a copy from Amazon. Isn't life exciting?

Why is the cover picture sideways???

His greatest album to date is "Verbal Penetration"...Every track is somethin' serious! Funky....plenty of guitar...soul & jazz grooves too. Jesse is back baby! D'Angelo...wherever you are...take notes.

Co-sign.

I purchased the only copy Cheapo in Uptown had?! Loving what I'm hearing so far.

Just got my copy today. Man this mutha is bumpin.
Damn Jesse put his foot in it. I haven't gotten past
the first 4 tracks yet because it sounds so damn good.
The title track is fire. I'm diggin Propaganda a hell of
a lot more than i did when i heard the snippet. U&I R We R Us
shows Jesse in a whole different light. It shows that he has
modernized his style and bought it into the new millenium.
This is definitely my album of the year bar none.
Way to go Jesse! We've been waiting on an album like this 4ever.

I'm on my way 2 the store.....this had better be GOOD!

Graycap23 said:

I listened 2 the whole album thru 2wice last nite, and am in2 it first thing this morning... amazing!

"ALI vs FRAZIER"
"PEACE BE WITH YOU"
"BEAUTIFUL SADIE" and
"MERCIFUL"

r all GUITAR instrumentals... and show that JJ is a guitarist of the highest order, don't sleep on it...

Very easy on the ear,so many stand out tracks...Brilliant

I like the album's concept. It's not just about the
music,it's about the lyrical content too. It's very
uplifting.

phunkdaddy said:

The seeds were sown with "Black in America" way back when, it's grandkids r

"Slave 2 R Freedom"
"Meditation 01-Astrology"
"Meditation 02-Self-Love"
"Redemption For The Soul, Enlightenment For The Earhole"

not what I expected at all, and I mean that in the most positive way.


His FUNK has grown 2 - now smoove and sexy...

"Verbal Penetration"
"100 Watts of Funky"
"Sheila Rae"
"Slo Burnin"


God GOD! welcome back JESSE - congratz on a gr8 album.

After all the hubbub I read here I had to check out the samples...I am IMPRESSED!

On my way to get this cd!

babynoz said:

Trust me the snippets don't do it any justice.

phunkdaddy said:

Man, I gotta thank y'all for the heads up on this one.

babynoz said:

I'm ticked. These fools here did NOT have the cd.

WOW! this CD is REALLY good!
I dug his earlier cds, but frankly never really got much spin in the last 15 years or so. These are really fleshed out tracks. "u and i r we r us" is blowing me away at how much he is channeling Curtis Mayfield. As a matter of fact I hear that a lot. And it's not a bad thing. Gotta give it to ALi VS. Frazier, great sound and skill. Just really getting into it ...but pretty blown away so far. We'll see how it does after a few days. Production is nice and clean too. I might get tired of the meditations and stuff- but they're pretty cool. I just tend to hate that kind of stuff. Like the reprises though, especially "Peace Be With You". Ok- I heard a D'Angelo thanks in the credits? Maybe that's HIM doing Curtis...hmmm...

minneapolisFunq said:

than you ain't gonna like it. It's way more of classic funk/R&B with a rock edge like back in the day. But production is fresh. You're prolly gonna wanna stick with them old discs cause this ain't what you ordered. Me- I didn't place an order, but happy what got served.

Just listened 2 the samples. Jesse did some WORK on this.
Gotta get my hands on this cd ASAP.

Graycap23 said:

Have you tried a large independent retailer in your area?
Your local Best Buy is definitely not carrying it in store.
You would have to buy it online at Best Buy. If you have to
resort to buying it online i suggest trying spun.com.

Graycap23 said:

Looks like it's back to Amazon for me too.

I know it's a different game now, but I wonder if he'll release a single/music video?...

funkyhead said:

Did u mean UNITED STATES OF DIVISION?

Either way, I don't hear it.
