I just wanted to let ya'll know I heard a little something from Kweli's new album.Well a little anyway. My boy who is originally from Greenville but who now is like an assistant sound engineer working in studio's out in LA, well he was in town for a week or so and he had like a real rough cut version of a track on the Beautiful Struggle. It was reall dope. Kanye did tht track and it has Mary J. singing the hook and a verse. I think he said Alicia Keys was doing the piano stabs on the track. The version he had Mary had not done all of her parts and it had Kanye filling in suggested parts himself. It was real sick, a single for sure. Kweli's flow was a little different more rapid and a little higher than normal. He also let me hear a cut that will probably never see the light. This one had Kweli going off over a chopped up version of Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles. He said a buy Charlemane did the beat. It was some of the best Kweli shit I've heard in a while. Because of the sample it will probably never officially be released. But you never know with MJ's leagal troubles he owns the rights to a lot of Beatles songs and he might need the cash. He said Kweli wanted to use the track to lure Mos Def out of semi- retirement with the acting thing. He knew Mos would go crazy for the track.
tight, i hope its better than "quality"
Looking forward to it.
