>on that solo Renaissance Q-tip production shit.
That was a great Q-Tip record.

What I feel with this one (on first listen and not all of it yet - still very early) that this is the "Kamal the Abstract" production shit.

Doesn't seems as coherent (sonic-ly or lyrical-ly) as the Tribe album *I* wanted hear that is in my head. But BRL and TLM didn't either.

I'll be watching SNL, and I'll keep listening - but on *first blush* its not the Tribe record I wanted.

I have been wrong before - notably about Gangstarr's Hard to Earn and The Beatnuts's first full length album. Those took months before they clicked in *my* head.
