I haven't listened to the whole thing, but I've liked the bits and pieces I've heard. I'm looking at the playlist, and you also have singers like D'Angelo and Les Nubians on it. Probably worth checking out.Bertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564026256366277474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563370259417902016.post-69393393584732106232008-12-17T12:37:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:37:00.000-05:00I did NOT know that... thanks, brother.

Just so you know, The Roots sampled a Fela Kuti track called "Mr. Grammarticalogylisationalism Is the Boss" for "I Will Not Apologize" on Rising Down. A part of Canibus' "Poet Laureate II" also samples the same song.Bertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564026256366277474noreply@blogger.com
