New Talib Kweli Reviews?

Has anyone heard his new album, Quality?

Reflection Eternal was awesome and I'm interested to hear what he sounds like without DJ Hi-Tek providing the beats.

Not as good. Could have used some Hi Tek beats, the guest spots are almost universally poor, and DJ Quick spitting his misogynisitc ******** on a Kweli track seems so, so out of place.

And yet, better than 99 percent of what passes for hip-hop nowadays.

I sort of thought the same...Dl'd a few of the tracks, I must say I was unimpressed....Reflection Eternal it is not...but then it doesn't have to be.

...werd...

Get by is worth the album price alone, but I like every song except Put it in the Air (yeah, DJ Quick is out of place), but I can still stand it... Better than "Big El from Da 'Natti"

Where do We Go is another sweet song.

thanks for the reviews, guys. I plunked down $9 at BB to get it and it was well worth it.
