I feel ya on waiting until it comes out, you know, like waiting all day when it hot and you been working hard for that cold Mountain Dew in the fridge. But if you have a twelve pack, drinking one or two won't hurt.

And I look at this as more of a controlled leak, like they intentionally left the faucet on. They are tryna get attention for this album. For fans like us who are familar with the Roots, some may wanna hold off. But for someone crusin' myspace who hasn't heard the roots music and they hear these tracks, if they like them and download them, they may add that to their ipod and might even share with a friend or two, who might inturn go to myspace, and check the tracks. They'll might buy the album too when it comes out. So this could go really well for them. It a promotion tactic covered up as a "leak" lol.
