Another one I have to go back and listen to. I got the CD while back and never gave it a proper listen past a spin or two! Definitely going to break that out tonight along with a few albums to listen to.

shyt was mid still
i wanted a continuation of greatness not a replication of a past achievement.
The album was cool. It was decidedly less focused and felt more like a demo tape. No real concepts or structure to the tracks. Raw beats, not much processing or composition from Madlib. Kweli sounded hungry, Mos less so.
I can see the argument that it's "lazy" but I kinda appreciate it as something I can just throw on and let it ride. It flows well as a project.
I didn't expect to get anything again from these guys, so it ain't too bad

I been saying since it dropped that Kweli rapped his ass off on this album. Yes he outrapped Mos

I like it
And i still listen to it daily
But I think I can understand why some might not like it or care for it as much
Maybe because of the stripped down production?
The demo like, rough draft approach to the album; in a lot of ways it sounds like a rough cut of an album in the first few stages of its recording sessions
The mixing
The raw approach to the songs, like it sounded very spur of the moment and capturing the moment type of recordings
Again, i really like the album but I can also understand if someone was left feeling like it was just middle of the road or so so
That is what I remember it being mid, probably why I did not go back to it after the first few listens.
