I gave up on it after three listens. It's not a good album at all. It don't think I've deleted an album this quick since Method Man's.
It has no direction at all. You have a songs with horrible guitar riffs, then some shitty "soulful" singing songs, some songs over jacked beats (lol @ "Rape Over") and some other nonsense. Outta 18 tracks, I might like 3 of them.
Just because it's different and "experimental" it shouldn't get a pass. He tried to be creative and diifferent and he failed. I think people don't wanna get a good MC like Mos Def failing marks for some reason. It's painfull for me to listen a dope MC like Mos Def make this kind of garbage.

well, that is your opinion
(and i don't think it's genius or like it for the mere fact it's experimental...but i do like it)

It isn't for rap only fans, and apparently it isn't for you. It's no masterpeice, but I like it. It shows creativity, and maturity (musically). More importantly, it sounds good, to me anyway.

Honestly this album is very experimental and it kinda failed
BUT the track Sunshine just makes this album for me ;D wish kanye could have done a shitload of songs for this
I heard Mos is doing some hip hop shit to make up for this album ???
-
I agree the Album is nothing to brag about lol

experimental = whack, but at least they tried :D

that is simply wrong (yes, 'experimental' is often a euphemism for wack, but definitely not always and you'se a foo if u think so)

both true.. cause some of the best albums ever made were expiremental.. and some really bad albums were expiremental..

You have to know Im a person that likes to provoke.. so sometimes you have to take my comments with a grain of salt.. like this time. All I wanted to say (if you subtract the provoke-factor) was that
'experimental' is often a euphemism for wack
.. and also in The New Danger's case in my opinion.
I know you like the Album which is of course good for you but .. I dont.
-
yeah, that's coo...i guessed u meant that but just to let ya know that is a good way to catch beef, cuz sum people will get back at you like "fuck you, that mos def is tight, suck my dick...that comin from the guy who jacks off to his Game poster" and there you go again lol...peace
(and yes i like the album, but i'm not surprised a lot of people don't...it is kinda chaotic and weird and he's not singer of the century...what i like is really the creativity and how it is not very predictable and different from most in rap AND the way it sounds itself...if u don't like the latter then u don't have to like it for being different, of course)
-
Im gonna say it like this;
Its different and for what it is, what it does, it's good
Sunshine, Grown Man Business, My Life is Real, Champion Requiem
are all good tracks while others;
The Easy Spell, Modern Marvel, Sex, Love, and Money
are horrible dissapointments, I was really feelin his remix type thing of Marvin Gaye's "Whats Going On" after modern marvel.
this album is an experimental success, I'm really diggin it but when it gets bad its horrible and when its good it's great.
-
I like Modern Marvel alot...and it's one of the tracks the album is kinda focussed on
-
Sunshine is dope...
-
why the fuck did he redo takeover...

I gotta say I like Modern Marvel but only in small doses it tends to turn me off for the moment thats why I dont like it, but it is orth the hidden trasck after it
