you better not have this much defense for guru (right?) or else dude is taking top spot. lol. naw, not that crazy.

just to cover all your takes. yeah, pretty much. but it pretty much comes down to a person-by-person basis, where by i "feel" this guy more. there is a connection, a fufilling of desires that whoever-mc satisfies. since there are so many objective arguements, then whatever on a personal level hits you harder, it moves you farther.

that record was kinda weak. check out the first two freestyle fellowship records, of which he was a member (innercity griots, to whom it may concern.) if you are brave, look up "project blowed." but for his definitive solo, "a book of human language." man tells a story of all sorts of aspects of life in chapter form. when mos def said something about being a "real life documentarian", a finer example could not be found than this great record from acey.

edit*-the "haiku d'etat" record too

good luck. god speed. dont get caught by the riaa.
