God awful, don't waste your time or money

As an editor of scholarly publications and avid music connoisseur, I find the review of this album very biased and largely inaccurate. I believe the editor’s job is to provide information, not opinion and criticism about what you feel the artist “should” be doing. Please be more professional. In addition, how can one be produced by Kanye, Pete Rock, Just Blaze, Madlib, & Hi-Tek and yet “suffer from a dearth of good beats” I agree that conscious rappers are often trapped in the basement when it comes to listenability, but that is not accurate in this instance.

Just a real smooth album. All around beautiful music. Just buy it and make a friend buy it too. We all need a little more of this instead of the abuse our eardrums are taking these days. If you're looking at this for no reason…. Listen to Lions of Hip Hop first, find that Ms. Hill track and listen to the Quality album too. I don't know how more people don't praise this, especially after being on Chappelle's Show. Where's the love.

Great beats, great lyrics.

kwelis lyrically on of the best rappers in the game... but scince everyone is stuck on that weezy sh!# on the radio rappers like kweli dont get as much credit as they deserve!

All I got to say people need to forget about the fake an recognize the real that's what happen to hip hop

Who wrote that iTunes review? How can you say Talib is "tiring"? Whoever it was knows nothing about rap or quality, and they should be fired. Yes, it's not his best album, but he's still one of the best out there. Period. Go Lupe

It's Talib's worst CD by far though. Buy "The Beautiful Struggle" or "Quality" instead.

This is truly great music. As an album it's not as good because all the songs sound to much alike but I'm apparently the only person who thinks that. If you like to use the shuffle feature than this is a great buy.

It sounds promising but can't purchase it because it's always being modified..grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
