b, 21b, 21left half of the cover is color, right half is negative. It also looks velvety, which may be causing some sort of reflection. b, 21b, 21b, 21I dig the stuff. I was really feeling Work It Out last summer, but most others weren't. Was playing all the other released singles last night and people were diggin em.

b, 21b, 21Don't have it but it's not really all that good. b, 21b, 21The Circuit City (?!) bonus track: "Feva" is some what better. There's supposed to be a Target bonus track too: "A Look Behind the Scenes" but I haven't heard that yet.

I think the Target version actually has a bonus DVD called "A Look Behind the Scenes", not a bonus track.

"Johnny Is Dead" murdered the dancefloor last night. In a good way I mean. b, 21Yeah the FG% is really high IMO. Really the only song that I wasn't really feeling was "You" but other than that they all kind of hit.b, 21b, 21Wifey was listening to it in my iPod on the bus yesterday and was like "This album reminds me of Midnight Marauders."
So this is a serious question, please don't take it as sarcasm or aimed in anyone in particular:b, 21b, 21b, 21Is this the hip hop album you've been waiting for?b, 21b, 21b, 21I read user reviews on itunes and it seems like this album is filling the void for alot of people who used to like hip hop but don't BUY new hip hop anymore. Is this the way forward for grown up rap?b, 21b, 21b, 21b/wb, 21b, 21WTF is Tip talking about 98% of the time?

b, 21b, 21Im not one of these 'this is what Hip Hop is missing" mofos. b, 21b, 21But yes I'd place in the the Grown-Ass Man Rap.b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21 /font1Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21WTF is Tip talking about 98% of the time?b, 21b, 21h, 21 b, 21b, 21Verses From The Abstract - DEAL.

b, 21b, 21I'd have to disagree. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21Well that's wifey's opinion and I do see what she's saying. I can see the connection. It sounds like genuine progression to me.b, 21b, 21And Thes, I don't know man. I'm not waiting for anything, but I expected this album to be corny and it's not. I didn't really like "Amplified" aside from a few of the singles.
Word, I feel you Cos, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic.. it was a genuine question.b, 21b, 21This version of the album as about 1800% better than the previous version that they released, which contained this gem, quite possibly one of the worst songs i have ever heard in my life:
Yeah I didn't think you were being antagonistic. The thing about it is, people are going to hate on it because they just do not like the music or the songs. Then there are people who will hate on it because they think it's the cool thing to do. Either way I don't really care, but only one of those reasons I can respect.b, 21b, 21As for me, I like it a lot. Part of it is because it's a return to - and an extension of - a sound and feel that I have always loved and grew up with. Also, it came completely from left field and neither me nor anyone knew to "check for the new Tip when it drops." Aside from 1 or 2 songs I wasn't f*cking with that shit from last year and a few years ago...b, 21b, 21... but on the strength, you know it's like dude is one of the greatest of al time. Hate me now on that but I feel that. As a rapper, never the best (not even the best in the Native Tongues camp) but always original and distinctive. As a producer it's game over.b, 21b, 21So yeah, I'm happy with it. This is one of the albums that I could see REALLY liking 3 or 4 of the songs, then in a few weeks really liking some other ones instead, dig? To me the only real weak song is "You."
