Of course Elec found out about it on Twitter and seems cool about it all....even liking people's posts that say "he's should've released this instead of letting Hov wash him for 30 minutes on A Written Testimony"...just taking things in stride you know.
I guess it's easy to do that when the music is good....which Act II is.
Wonder if Roc Nation puts together a HQ version for us to stream and more importantly buy?
Also, I wonder how Just Blaze feels about all of this......I'd imagine his phone is blowing up today.
I'm sure this will shine an unwanted light on Group Buys and paying for leaks that been going on this last couple years.

I'm leaning toward A Written Testimony for it's cohesiveness. As a body of work it fits so well together. It could just be because it isn't mastered (probably?) but Act II has a few songs that while good, don't fit in as well. Also, a few of the beats are kind of too sedate. To that end 'life on mars', 'better in tune', 'welcome to knightsbridge', and 'rough love' are dope, but they disrupt the flow for me.
A Written Testimony could use more meat on it's bones, but everything that is there works perfectly for me.

Just go all in.
The Announcement Exhibit A Exhibit C Jazzmatazz Patents of Nobility with rapping Extra Extra Dear Moleskin Departure (does a full version exist?) Anakins Prayer (same?) Swagger Jacksons Revenge

add a few other tracks we haven't heard
Boom.
Either way, its excellent and I'm glad I hadn't really listened to many of the tracks that had leaked.

from Dinner at Tiffany's, wow. On the whole this is a great listen, just wish a properly mixed version will come out one day, as a few of the tracks are slightly messed up (usually in the final seconds), had to edit them manually on Audacity.
