This is the best hip hop album I have heard in a long time. Well, it's also one of the only albums I have really listened to since the Hot Boys.  Regardless, it was good enough for me to post it so think about giving it a try.

Wale, a big Seinfeld fan, mixes classic lines from the show that flow well with his lyrics. He also has a newer album based on Back to the Future. If nothing else, the guy is doing something different, and his music is inspired.

Will I enjoy this even if I am not a Seinfeld fan?

Aesop Rock>WALE

This guy reminds me of Kanye. That said, I like how Hip Hop has shifted the "I can kill you/have more money/jewels/cars & burberry laced whips than you" era to pop culture references and skinny jeans. It is def an improvement minus the hipster jeans. I am willing to bet Wale' has a pair of Nike McFly's.

I still like to throw on some areested development from time to time. Not the Jason Bateman version but Mr. Wendal, see?!

I downloaded (read: stole) this CD and it isnt bad. I might prefer the "I can kill you/have more money/jewels/cars & burberry laced whips than you" era myself.

Tennessee is where AD proved their staying power.

I think he is better and a lot more authentic than Kanye.

Kanye is a gay fish.
