The Grand Puba song is fucking inspired!
big fan of the brother ali track. fun shit guys
Eargasmic.
Smooth!!! I will be spinning this tonight! Thank you!
This is so beautiful!
i’ve had this for what feels like forever, but i just put into my radio station’s playlist of tracks to play and i’ve been noticing some of my djs are bumping it like crazy.
SEATTLE!
The shit.
I haven’t enjoyed a mix tape this much since the Grey Album.
Thanks
Some of the best hip-hop I’ve heard. Not a single weak song. After recommending it to a few friends it has spread fast, loads of people listening to it out here.
Hails from Iceland!
Thank you soooo much for this!!!!!!!!! I can’t stop listen to it. At first I was sceptic about it, but you really made it amazing!!!!! Greets from Croatia
So dope, glad to see people are still passionate about good music and innovation.
amazing. can’t stop listening. great hip hop and sufjan were made for each other
@?? – Both Tor & JMT sampled ‘Dumb I Sound’, but that doesn’t mean JMT should get credit because they sampled it first, should everyone credit NWA or 2 Live Crew when they sample the amen break?
Stumbled upon this in Grooveshark. Not usually my genre of music, but I love it!
Love to see some comment credit to JMT. That may be Outkast’s vocals, but the beat is Jedi Mind Tricks.
Been lookin’ for music like this for a long time now! Thanks Hip-Hop aint’ dead yet!
genius, and instant classic for sure.. everyone i know is going to hear this.
Instant Classic. Period. Can’t wait to hear more.
Ace.
Thats all.
i will rejoice in your fall from grace
with a cane through the sky like “none shall pass”
Hey, I’m Sufjan. I really like what you did with my songs, man. That’s awesome!

ooooooooooo-o, thanks a fucking lot. seriously, this album is the shit and will be on heavy heavy rotation. heavy.
I fell in love with this album again
(all things go; all things go)
For a couple of years now i have been put off hip hop because of the effect cooperate record labels have had on the industry. Some how cheesy lyrics + catchy hooks + generic beat = hip hop. You give me faith that may still be hope.
Keep it up brother!!
coooll de FRANCE
PEACE
ya
The best!
sick.
My favourite hip-hop album ever. So elegant, so dark yet with a sense of humor.
LOVIN this so hard, you’re a genius man:)
Please, for the sake of hungry ears, keep it up! fans will only increase to back you up.
