I am not hip-hop / rap fixed - Jay-Z came to my collection with this album by Q-Tip and other search my part to good hip-hop CDs. this Wurd proposed emir purchased and I'm very excited. The Black Album is full of Beats'n'Rhymes, never annoying, is good, but does not produce too pretentious and may well stand beside my Reggae / Ragga CDs, even if these directions are not represented here. I'll let you off and running on at a "Jazz-break" is good, I think.
