I think that the instant classic status laid upon
these albums, especially TLB, is more a statement
about the sad, cookie-cutter, state of hip-hop.
I think these are some GREAT albums, but I have heard
people comparing Andre 3000 to Prince and (GASP) a
hip-hop Miles Davis. SLOW DOWN (c) Brand Nubian!

They continue to grow as artists and that's cool, but
shouldn't all artist evolve like this. And what amazes
me is how we trash other artist for doing the same!

To restate my position, this is a great album! They took a
risk and it seems to be paying off. Hopefully this will
inspire more artists to evolve. But, cool it on the greatest
album ever talk, and the Andre is a genius talk. I am
not just talking to OKP here, but I hear this at work and
in the streets!

On another note, this might be a good time to release
Kamal the Abstract!!!
