The advance was DOPE, although not the best quality.  I was able to get a perfect quality version of Lonely People, but i still hope it makes the album.

My favourite leaked song so far is Around My way, but not the one with the Sting sample, the one he did live where John Legend sang the Sting song.........heard it may be a single!  Although fucking Jim Jones has just released his own Around my way with the same sample (but way worse) so who knows...............

I'm most def (no pun intended) gonna cop this shit. Still I hope it's better than the version that leaked, which was quite good but could be improved. And also thats a pretty tight cover. HipHop cds without the artists themselves on the cover are rare anyways

Is 7:30 going to be on there?

No.  All the songs that were on the "Beautiful Mixtape" will not be on the album, according to Kweli.  And since 7:30 was on the mixtape, I guess that means that it won't be on the album.

Heard it, he's samplin both music and chorus from "Every little thing she does is magic" by The Police. Wish somebody else sang the chorus cause that voice is fucking weak. Disgusting, fucks up the whole song.

Da illest. the album version of Around My way features John Legend, no way you'll think his voice is weak, best there is in R&B.  The other version had the sample of sting, didnt sound very good

I don't know what version I have, but I can tell you the one I got is not sampling Sting's voice. It's not even the same lyrics as The Police's song. I don't think I've ever heard John Legend, so I don't know if it's him on the song, but I can tell you this chorus is annoying as fuck.

...I don't think I've ever heard John Legend, so I don't know if it's him on the song...

John Legend is the guy, who sang on many Kanye West songs, and on Dilated Peoples' "This Way" for example...

Oh, I had heard him then. I can't say if it's him on the song tho.
