So I listened to an official promo copy of this today, and boy, what a pile of shit. Kweli sounds lost in all the radio-friendly beatzzz; either his style doesn't mesh with the 106 & Park-ready club tracks (yes, as early reports indicated, he does some frigging club tracks on this album), or, even worse, he dumbs down his flow to make it more mainstream. If the shout out to him on The Black Album ends up exposing a lot of people to Talib Kweli and The Beautiful Struggle (and, given what a desperate grab for commercial success this album is, I imagine that's what Mr. TK Greene hopes), then Jay-Z's praise of Kweli looks foolish.
