Reviews
This album is the greatest Hip-hop album i have heard. Mos expresses himself in every way possible on this album. His emotion is clear and the lyrics are raw and pure. The beats compliment his flow perfectly and I would say this is the closest any album has ever come to perfection. Every song on here is beautiful hip hop. Mos Def explores the roots of old school rap, jazz, and even rock all while placing his own unique twist on everything. --Autolady006 19:09, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
