not bad at all. in '98 that would have been shit though, lol, but now it's fairly decent. album will probably end up selling 200,000+ over time. hopefully, weeks 2-4 aren't too bad.

And they are fans of The Roots.... Def Jam isn't promoting their best artist-group and its a shame. This album should be pushed harder and I think alot of folk didn't even know the proper release date. In addition, I absolutely hate the radio/BET & MTV emphasis on what should be promoted. This is the BEST album to out in June and there is literally no airplay on FM stations here in Maryland or video play on MTV and BET. I saw HIGO video a few times on VH1 Soul a few times but that's about it.
On The Lookout 4: some new music. WTF is going on this year?
