Has anyone else listened to this? I love it, but of course I love anything by Mos Def.

Casa Bey & No Hay Nada Mas are the hottest tracks so far that I've listened to. I like others but I need a couple of more listens, overall this album definitely doesn't disappoint.

nobody has heard this yet?

Here I am...who knows when cats will hear this..this is REAL hip hop!...History is my favorite..I remember that J-Dilla beat and its glad to hear him bring it back to life with his partner Talib,Reuniting BlakStarr.Hearing his album was like taking a long shower..cleansing from this other flith thats out.I also liked No hay Nada Mas,Quiet Dog and Auditorium.Glad to see Madlib get work and production from Preservation was nice to hear.

Yes..I'm happy for him..all these other threads about hip-hop and haters want to bash..but NONE are here yet to applaud what real hip hop is all about.Good job by you,because truthfully I didnt think anyone here would be down with Mos.

my thoughts are here in this abandoned thread http://prince.org/msg/8/3...to=6725595 . great joint though . roses, one of the best tracks of this year, imo

yeah "roses" reminds me of a Andre 3000 track, but its hot as hell though. Who is the lady singing on that? I've heard the voice but can't place who it is.

I dug the live performance he did a few weeks ago on Letterman but the cd is lacking 4 my taste.

I bought the vinyl. It's one of his better releases.

georgia anne muldrow http://www.myspace.com/ge...nnemuldrow . she also sang on erykah badu's track master teacher . awesome voice, 'specially on this track

she just released a new album

It's his best since Black On Both Sides, and musically it's the richest thing he's done yet. Lyrically, a little lazy on a song or two, but the album works as a song cycle far better than anything else I've heard from Mos.

I love it!
