IMHO, the beats on the Mos/Kweli 12" are on a much darker/more 'hardcore' tip than 'fortified live', which lyrically was excellent, but was kinda overly funky/upbeat. I like the blackstar much better, 'definition' is just a sweet track all around excellent. the b-side is a 'twice inna lifetime', which is actually a remix of 'fortified...', minus Mr. Mann and +Jane Doe, Punch & Words (the Jane Doe verse is pretty weak in comparision to the others, and both Punchline and Wordsworth come off strong, as opposed to on Lyricists Lounge, were one of them [punch? i'm not sure who's who] sounded mad wack.). Actually, i also think the Mos & Kweli verses are new also (it basically retians the hook from the original). But at this point, don't get the 12" unless you want the insturmentals, as the LP comes out tuesday and has both tracks. Track listing: Intro / 8th Light / Definition / Redefinition / Children's Story / Brown Skin Lady /B Boys will B Boys / Knowledge Of Self / Hater Players / Yo Yeah / Respiration /Thieves in the Night / Twice Inna Lifetime At 11:05 AM 9/18/98 -0700, xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx wrote: >np: Company Flow - "End to End Burners" single uggh.. there's a rumor floating around RMHH that Big Juss left the group.. say it aint so! i guess now it's just El-P and that dj who's name i can never remember... btw, what can anyone tell me about the new(ish) J-Treds (indelible mcs) 12" on fondle 'em? good? later, mlt ml/vn// [o{st}m.rec]
