New Mos Def.

I'm really diggin' this. I'm talking about the whole feel of the album. It seems his love for MF Doom extends beyond the rapps...half these beats seem tailor-made for Doom.And most importantly (to me, at least):It's 100% "woh yoh!" free!!! No annoying singing! (Though he treads dangerously close at times.)

Auditorium with Slick Rick is the shit. 'the Elvis of Baghdad'

Im not sure what i think about this yet. It has its cool moments but feels very disjointed and has a stoner kinda vibe going on. I'll have to give it repeat listens to make my mind up

the whole feel of the album

I'm shocked that I'm kinda feeling this album too, and for this exact reason. It actually sounds like an album, unlike a lot of other cookie-cutter stuff these days.

That may be a pretty low bar to set, but my expectations were really pretty low..

 

[Hotsauce84]

Same here! I haven't been feeling hoLmes for a while! I was definitely not expecting much from him and I'll admit this one surprised me. I really am happy with the fact that he's not singing though.

on a side note, creativity aside:
this record sounds like shit - laptop guitar center mic and fruity loops style. the bar has never been lower in rap.

It seems like some things were taken out of context during an interview with Freeway. It sounds like Baby Williams wants to sign Freeway or was talking about signing Freeway, but I don't think that this has actually happened.

doesn't flow that well to me.

few tracks seem REAL out of place. the spanish track really bugs me.

otherwise, tracks like auditorium are heatrocks. i like how he rapped to the oh no beat off of dr. no's. beat beat on there imo.

Looks like he's been taking production notes from Doom as well.

Am i the only one who doesnt hate his attempts at singing?

YES. Maybe just you and a few random Europeans and Japanese.

 

I don't hate what he did with "Umi Says". Great track and notfuckwithable. Not too big on his attempts at singing elsewhere though.
