I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I’m pissed off that this album did not follow Q-Tips debut from 1999, “Amplified”. It would’ve been a great follow-up. I hate that it wasn’t because his adoring fans had to settle for singles and guest spots on certain shit, which was a pain in the ass to track down. Things like “Work It Out” and joints with Green Lantern, Busta Rhymes, Raphael Saddiq’s “Get Involved”, Chemical Brothers “Galvanize”, etc. I”m also kinda bent out of shape because some of you guys who love Q-Tip as much as I do had this album EIGHT YEARS AGO! I hate that I wasn’t able to get a leak or a bootleg copy. So pissed. But I’m finally glad it’s coming out. A perfect way to end the summer. I heard it on 9/11 on MySpace. Genius stuff. But I agree with an earlier comment made that he’s moved on from this album in the form of his last release, “The Renaissance”, although that album still has touches of “Kamaal” in it. He wants to branch out of just being a rapper from A Tribe Called Quest and a occasional actor and get into producing, playing instruments, singing and just being a fully-formed, rounded artist as a whole. Hopefully this album will settle the score for once and for all. I will be copping this joint and have it on heavy rotation and promotion and I urge all true Q-Tip fans to do the same.

@ Dres,Jive fucked up more than once when they let most of thier hip hop acts go and put on NSYNC,Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys on. I think that Jive doesn`t deserve to put this album out. I wish Q-Tip could`ve brought this out independently or took it to another label.

Cosign with everyone who’s had it for a min. I personally love the album. The tracks “Heels” and “Barely in Love” Ride out!!!!

Also had this for 8 years. I’ve got this version already too, but not sure whether I’m gonna buy it this time round. Would love to know the story behind it. Great piece of work though.

He was on Arista when he made this so I don’t know how Jive became involved. Maybe they’re actually helping him out. Anyone know anything about that?
