Before you used to bitch and blame the "negativity" from people's comments on some of your newer stuff on their wanting you to be the same Kweli from Eternal or Black Star, which was a bunch of bullsh*t; the stuff people were being "negative" about just wasn't that good. Sorry to break the news. Look at Erykah Badu for example: Mama's Gun was different than Baduizm/Live but the music and vocals on Mama's Gun was so damn exceptional, and you didn't hear anybody being so-called negative about it because it wasn't like On & On or Tyrone. You know why? Cause that shit was good. (Erykah, you so fly.)

The moral of the story, Kweli, is: Keep making good records with good production and lyrics and delivery--no matter how different it is from your old stuff--and you will get positive feedback. Accordingly, "Listen" is good, man.
