that sucks.
not going to be very popular for this but i have been wondering about nt music fridays... the way mrdobolina does it is best methinks as you don't download it so it's promoting the artists rather than ripping them off.

Damn. So where can I dload the leakage? Cause I'm a huge fan of Talib so I'm def. buyin the album anyway...I did the same when hail to the thief was leaked...
It's like getting 2 albums :D

the bootleg is hot.
"lonely people" is a crazy track.. Kanye produced.. Beatle sampled..
and Toronto's own Tone Mason does a track on it as well (track 11)
only thing is that its all unmastered.

nice to see the heartfelt pleas of an artist falling on deaf ears. if it was a web designer, asking a client not to put a site live coz he hasn't been paid yet, would that be the same thing?
- radar0
no one would give a shit if was a designer - but I would never give my client access to those files until after I was paid - that site would be sitting on my server.

exactly. if it's how you feed your family, make sure you look after it, man! oh, and if you're family depend on your earnings, try getting a real damn job... "how many copies do you think i'll sell?" there's conviction in yourself.

man, my argument still holds water. i 'aint saying being a musicaian aint a proper job, but i am saying that if your art can't support your family, sort yourself. plus, i agree with madison on the hhm site : he hasn't gone gold becuase his music is crap. bad workers blame their recording studio and the internet...!

(mar 19 04, 08:52)you must be brainwashed by all the 50cent b.s. on the radio, or "in da club". Talib's music is def. not "crap"...but yer entitled to yer own opinion so I respect that.

yea, someone passed the unfinished album on to me. i havent gotten a chance to listen to it yet. the real shame is that many people will be listening to an unfinished album, and not care to get the full work when its complete.

bug you probably shouldn't worry too much about trying to correct someone who suggest kweli "try getting a real damn job" to pay the bills.

talib kweli is easily the least impressive member of the "conscious hip-hop" camp. Common made him sound whiny and silly on their track on Kanye's album.
Mos Def went gold. The Roots went gold. if you put out quality hip-hop, it can go gold. Talib got it backwards, and just named his album Quality. (there is one great track on that album: Get By, but credit Kanye for that)
I'll reserve judgement on the new album when i hear it, I'll admit Talib seems to have learned how to rap on rhythm in the last few years. but they sampled the beatles? no way that'll get cleared and put on the retail version.

This isn't really a surprise anymore.

I agree with you kpl, that their were not many great songs on quality. However I think Talib is crazy. Have you heard Reflection...train of thought, or whatever the name of the album was....I loved it.
- instantok0
sampling the beatles might get cleared...i believe mj needs the cash
- shant0
It's Reflection Eternal and it's a must-own hip hop album. Hi-Tek's production is awesome.
