I went out and bought it on the strenf but, damn, this is kind of boring. And has too much singing.Couldn't he have gotten Just Blaze to give him a discount on some production or something? That's a combination that I think really would have worked.

    I wasn't all that into the one song they did together.

    The single, fortunately, is not representative of the rest of the album. One of the worst tracks ever by a respectable artist.

    Maybe that Game/Nas joint?

    Are we talking worse than Mos Def's New Danger here?

    I have never heard that album, but I am certain that it falls well below the line of being worth listening to even a single time, much less discussing.

    So, probably not.

    Definition of a fanboy = someone unable to recognize/admit that a particular song by an artist whom they like is trash.

    Call me what you want. I am not even that much of a fan. I just like the appeal of the song and how it is a vehicle for beckydancing without being of the "worst kind", i.e., there are far worse songs out there by respectable artists. I just disagree with your point of view, no more, no less.

    Tepid.

    I welcome you little dudes' disagreement.

    The world would be a boring place without people so entertainingly uninformed about music.

    this is the worst kind of 'beckydancing' song in the 'gold digger' mold

    If people wanna hear how he use to sound they should re-vist The Equinox, Stress: The Extinction Agenda, the s/t 91 joint or Internal Affairs. Otherwise deal with the changes and roll on playa.

    At least you wen't out and bought the cd, which i'm sure half these heads did not.

    Did anyone say they wanted to hear that?

    Artists should evolve over time--that much is a given, and it's exceedingly lazy to give them credit merely for evolving rather than evaluating the direction of their evolution.

    In this case, the results are disappointing.

    On a related note, both maturing- and Monch-related, that Press Play gets better every time I listen to it. (cough)

    Monch's album is most definitely BETTER than the last two Mos Def albums (not that this is really saying much but...)

    As folks have noted, the new album is uneven, has some really bad songs here and there, but I dig the ambition, some of the creative angles, and overall, I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's no Turf Talk though.

    I tried to told everyone on here that it was one of last year's best rap albums.

    On another note... this is heavy in my played rotation right now for jazzy hiphop. Def some flavorful beats going on with this volume: Guru-Jazzmatazz_Vol._4_The_Hip_Hop_Jazz_Messenger_(Back_to_the_Future)

    I smell a lot of asshurt with you faux anytime someone appears to have a diff view.

    Do you suffer from the if-anyone-disagrees-with-me-your-not-on-my-level type of shit.

    Which track was that? I wasn't aware he'd rapped over any Just Blaze beats...
