been doing the first listen for four hours
..."speak soft like a razor blade under my tongue"....
It's good......and then there is Jean Grae so keep listening ..."fox logo if your face is local, get bruised till you're the color of the laker's logo."....
she's just sayin'
i like the first and sixth tracks, the one "Somebodys got to do it"

The album came out very solid. They took a step back from 'Phrenology', which was expected. I think that even though they only gave us 12 tracks this time, any hip hop lover worth his weight in gold would be ca-razy not to add it to their collection (although, they would want to keep the non-sale price below $13). My faves is "Din Daa Daa" (hidden track), "Star/ Pointro" (love the story behind the making of the song), "Boom!" and "Web" (both for the sheer energy). I still think they could have done without Jean Grae. Very overrated MC. Otherwise, the chaps have done well.

Favorite line from 'The Tipping Point' on "Web":
"MC's never showed loyalty yet. Kool Herc ain't never get a royalty check."
