first of all respect that Kweli has created the album without the help of the music industry, he told the bootleg. the beats are partially meienr opinion, not so typical hiphop beats but also does not apply to all to. despite its fits the rap of Kweli well with the beats and I find the whole album thus gets a very unique style. It is definitely a work for exotic hip-hop lovers, but I like it and I'm usually more of a fan of the very classic but simple rap hiphop style. So thumbs up is a great factory you can listen to it well,
