I know you bootlegging fucks already have it so what do you think of it? I can only listen to the non-rap tracks right now but they're all sounding decent. This Time is still sounding good.

But in terms of it being a cohesive album...
Half Hyphy/half Coldplay with The Haunted Mansion guy spouting some mid-evil gibberish for an intro?
I don't know who he's trying to sell this to to be honest with you.
I haven't heard it yet, but I think the short answer to that question is everyone.
This would have been a better look
Seriously, not to dis dude cause I know he's got a living to make, but it just doesn't sound like anything I'd buy. You've got to hear that intro for real.
He looks like Joel McHale on this cover.
nah...but for real. i'm trying to be an optimist here. it's kinda loose.
This Time is the only track I was feeling.
Son do you really think he is doin this album to make money??? If he wanted to make more money he would have done Entroducing 2006. I'm sure that's what you were waiting for.
Why hip-hop is hyphy in '06.
I'm inclined to agree. Things go in cycles - back in the early 80s, hip hop was a singles market, then in the late 80s-mid 90s fools were dropping solid albums from front to back. Now with the MP3 rage, and people making a shit-ton of $$$ off of one song, it's going back to a singles market. How often have you gotten a dope leadoff single only to like about half of the album when it drops?
I think I'll never hear this album.
I think there will be at least 50 DJ Shadow threads in the next few months. (at least)
carry on
I'll definitely give it a listen
Shadow needs to fire his stylist after that Urb cover.
wrrd, f you too homie. enjoy.
fuck ya'll and fuck a white suit
