    A dude had like 10 copies on eBay for $70 a couple years ago I should have bought them all but I grabbed two and then put the link in the vinyl thread. That was a great day.

    Same dude has two copies for $250 a pop now lol

    Let me start by saying the album is great

    But it’s also become overrated because of its scarcity, artsy bent that online fans like, and people only remembering the highs

    Some of the more electronic beats on the album haven’t aged the best, they sound very of their time and imo don’t fit that well with the Madlib dilla oh no stuff.

    Also it was the start of mos putting in a little less effort on the mic, it worked mostly but a couple of the more freestyled parts aren’t that amazing

    It’s like an 8/10 solid 4 mics which is more than respectable for something with clearly not much effort put into it

    What do you consider the more electronic beats? Personally for me it’s a flawless album except for roses. I really don’t like roses at all.

    Life In Marvelous Times is the only beat that could be considered 'Electronic' on there imo

    2words is just being 2words imo

    Mos/Bey was more abstract with his writing than prior to this but he was still locked in

    @iamiguel yeah Life in marvelous times beat sucks

    The other one I was thinking of was Twilite Speedball, for me it’s a miss by the Neptunes and doesn’t fit the album the best, the instruments sound cheap here to me and the melodies aren’t good

    I know it’s just two tracks but they throw the album off for me along with a few other things
