i just picked up the new record about an hour ago.
a few problems:
i got the edited version by accident but i highly doubt virigin will take it back now that it's no longer shrink wrapped. i honestly cannot listen to edited music it distracks me entirely from what content there is. (any ideas?)
the other is that i had really high expectations going into this purchase, being that "black on..." was one of my highest ranked hip-hop records. i had no idea i'd be buying some sort of funky freestyle jazz record. so far what i've listened to has been mos checking his mic over bad brains jam sessions. am i alone in thinking this? granted, i didn't give it the full spin because of the edited thing, but i fear for the rest.

i probably just need to give it a chance, but i really want to love it and i think that might not happen.
