Beautiful Struggle, or Right About Now?
Because Beautiful Struggle was awesome, IMO, despite what popular opinion states. Going Hard and Broken Glass are great songs.

beautiful Struggle. I liked most of the the 2nd half of the album. After Black Star, Train of Thought, Quality and the mixtapes I was really looking forwad to it and was dissapointed. I'll probably give another chance in time but as of right now I don't care for it. I felt Kweli tried to kinda comprimise his artistry with industry cliches...I don't I can't call it.
Mos Def's New Danger kinda dissapointed me but only becuase I wasn't expecting what it turned out to be (Black Jack Johnson and Not Black On Both Sides) it's still a very good album.
I had to give Beautiful Struggle a few listens to, but it really grew on me. Alot of the lyrics are really good, and while it's admittedly nowhere near Quality or Blackstar, it's still a great album... but Going Hard is prob my fav Kweli song yet. (blackstar excluded...thieves in the night is amazing, and respiration is my fav song ever.)

I recommend checking out Jose Gonzalez'- Sometimes I Rhyme Slow
SOMETIMES I RHYME SLOW: A Remixtape by Dert
Hip hop meets acoustic as José González’s Veneer gets reworked and blended with verses from some of today’s most elite underground and mainstream emcees. Taking inspiration from Nice & Smooth’s “golden-era” track of the same name, Sometimes I Rhyme Slow is a updated take on fusing acoustic guitar samples with funk, soul and breakbeats. This mixtape, while not meant to overshadow the original tracks, provides a much needed ‘feel-good’ alternative to rap’s current heavy rotation.

Finally some Kweli love
Anyway, i liked beutiful struggle too Goin Hard, the last track ( i cant remember it) and Black Girl Pain are the tightest on that. Anyone here other than me listen to right about now? I think everyone needs to hear Ms. Hill definitely one of the best songs i've ever heard i guarantee you've never heard so much raw emotion packed into one song. you can tell he really cares about Lauryn. plus theres Supreme, Supreme featuring Mos Def and The Beas feat Papoose <- guarantee this song'll get u ready to whoop some ass.
As for The New Danger thumbs down for me...im not a big fan of the rock stuff and aside from the rapeover (track #5) there wasnt any rap until the ninth track. wtf. But the raps are tight though just too much rock for my tastes...

Yea I hear ya. The last few tracks on The beautiful Struggle were very good it just kinda took to long for to get to that. Also I'm not big into rock I liked sunshine and the Ghetto Rock tracks, Sex Love and Money and the rest I don't really remember I just kinda let play whenever I do play it.Finally some Kweli love

Supreme Supreme was on the Beautiful Mixtape Vol. 2 before it was on Right About Now.Finally some Kweli love

Right About Now was almost entirely recycled, since I pretty much have, and have listened to, every Talib song there is, Right About Now was sort of disappointing with the lack of originals.

Whenever i listen to it i start it on track 9 and let it play...i dont want anybody to misunderstand tho the rap thats on there is top notch much love for mos.
It was good for me cause indianapolis isnt exactly the capitol of hip hop so i cant always get my hands on mixtapes...Oh and Supreme Supreme was a bonus track on the UK version of Beutiful Struggle...i always wondered why Talib didnt have any tracks with mos...
Your mom loves it
Alright this shit is pissing me off Talib got pushed back to 7/27/07. Yeah gay I know.
