Please post more. You express yourself very well.

And I agree with the following, if you take out ghostface (which i haven't heard yet):

Word again.

while I do enjoy "like water...", I await the next effort. I see the sound as evolving. respect to everyone involved. i hear the heart in it.

I would like to offer constructive criticism (yeah, yeah, ignore the song title post), so I have held back from a lot of the discussions on the album.

"a song for assata" and "geto heaven pt II" are my favorites. "funky for you" and "cold blooded" are runner ups. more to come...

folks with blackilicious and com's album, listen to "sleep" by blackilicious and "nag champa" by common. compare/contrast.

Spread love,

DC folks, watch Flo Brown on "Spread Love", Monday April 10th, 10:30pm, Channel 25 District Cablevision or Channel 10 Starpower (re-airs that Friday at 9:30). It's my video show.

Peep Jaguar the week of April 16th (same time as above Monday and Friday).

get the idea? the show airs twice a week, mondays and fridays. peep game. ;-)
