don't care of i sound like a cornball, this is a beautiful album, holy smokes. again: easily his best in over a decade at that point. very firm and mighty 4 mics. even bilal and john legend couldn't fuck it up.
(lol, put my cynical jerk hat back on for a sec)
gonna take a detour into the august greene album...
the august greene album is good! it's glasper+riggins, so the beats are that chunked up synth jazz boombap and com continues to sound reinvigorated. it is a bit dour at times, but very soulful. the track with brandy was unexpected and it's a legit excellent radio jam that hits at the perfect time in the album's sequence. a very good record that plays like a sort of unofficial epilogue to black america again. a very solid 3.5 mics and a pleasant surprise.
