production-wise. Man has still got it for sure. The last Tribe album, his work with Danny Brown and tracks for Roc Marci and Busta have all sounded great, and vary in terms of style.
LL sounds solid in this snippet but the beat sounds really nice.
Finger still crossed for Kamaal to release The Last Zulu, whatever he has in the stash, sometime before I hit old age.

I hope somebody got a rip because this song sounds amazing to me. LL said it's his favorite album he's ever done on Twitter from what I've heard

I’m pretty sure, anyways.
His second half career albums were often all over the place. Locking in with Q-Tip…man, this could be great. I really, really like this beat, looking forward to hearing the whole song.
10. "RE: I think the only other stuff he's done with one producer" In response to Reply # 7
is the stuff he does with Marley-I remember him saying in an interview that every summer Marley comes to his house and stays in his guest house, and they work on music together
>His second half career albums were often all over the place. >Locking in with Q-Tip…man, this could be great. I really, >really like this beat, looking forward to hearing the whole >song.
the worst thing about those albums is that while he was competing against all the new guys coming up, he didn't really have anything to prove to anyone with regard to albums. I wish we got an LL album of him doing just what he wants to do, and I think this is the one where we get it.

I've liked every solo Q-Tip album, that last ATCQ album grew on me but I didn't really see it as a Q-Tip produced album since it had other producers on it and guest musicians playing here & there (but so was Q-Tip's 2nd & 4th album) but it still could've used some input from Ali M. on it.
Anyway I can definitely see Q-Tip giving LL sort of a flashback era vibe but keeping it up-to-date at the same time, I would like to hear a track or two beforehand to see if it would be worthy to release an entire album though; it would be a shame for them to just release an entire album then find out it's not good but to still try to push it on to the people; but anything would be better than that last LL album "Authentic".

where he is rapping a bunch of meaningless shit in that dorky ass flow for like 2 minutes straight trying “steal the show”, I’m throwing my phone out the window.
Just spit a solid 16 and call it a day.
Love that we’re finally getting a Nas and LL collab though!

off the Street’s Disciple album.
That’s a good point that Eminem loves LL…but that worries me even more that he’ll try and do too much. If so, I hope his verse is the last one on the song, that way I can just skip to the next track once he starts up, lol.
Overall though, I’m very excited for this album. The tour too…hoping to see LL/Roots at Barclays in Brooklyn.

Like if LL just wasn't feeling what he himself was doing on the tracks (his explanation), he could've called Dre back and got back to work and improved on what they were already doing.
But instead he scrapped the whole thing and called a whole ass new producer to do the beats.
29. "Had not heard he postponed some dates" In response to Reply # 28
Apparently that happened back in June. I actually finally bought tickets for the show this week so when I saw your post I thought they JUST postponed the whole tour. I guess it is possible they run into more problems and more dates get rescheduled.
I had been wanting to hear from people going to the show to see what exactly it was like. I was a bit surprised when I checked this week and saw it didn't start until August. Now I know why.
