Shame about HHP story. Beware gimmickry though...
Industry rule #4080.

On a more positive note: Nas & Jr Gong - "Friends" = official! Who is the vocalist in those first few seconds? Anyone know?

Hold up, Nas spits the same verse on 'Leaders' that he spat on that HHP joint he features on. I think it's sad, paying someone R100k only to have em drop a recycled verse for you, SMH

The f***? Really?

*clears throat*

After a few listens, i feel Nas is less fitting. Nas seems so off the subject matter(plus off beat) that it makes me doubt that he wrote that for this song. something tells me they just sent HHP an already recorded verse from Nas' archives somewhere.

Same thing happened to Metaphysics from Zim, he did a record with Slum Village in Germany, and later heard them use the same verses on another joint, it is kinda lame when that happens. Wish I had that record too, it was a limited edition 7", I do believe..

Well, I'm not quite impressed about the album..maybe it's because I'd already heard some of the joints from leaks. But all in all, it sounds a bit too earthy for my liking. But that's just me.

And for heads who've been fans of Damian's style of production for a minute, some of the joints really do sound similar:

+Tribal war = Confrontation (off of Damian's "Welcome to Jamrock"), I like the chorus though, influenced by Culture's song of the same name.

+Leaders = It was written (off of Damian's "Halfway tree"). Still though, it's a dope joint, one of my favourites.

+Count your blessings = Sunshine girl(from Damian's "Welcome to Jamrock")

+Dispear = The mission(ft. Stephen Marley)

Believe I've made my point. My favourite joints are when Damian comes hard at it (Nahright and As we enter). Plus they sampled that 'Dub fire (African children) joint off of Aswad's "New chaper in dub". Shit had me tripping the f*** out!

Favourites: As we enter, Strong will continue, Leaders, Friends, Dispear, Land of promise, Nah mean  :o, and Africa must wake up.

Nuff said!

Dude, I was only ashamed to admit it to myself when I saw the number of tracks that I'm enjoying ;)

Are you saying that one cannot make a hardcore album about Afrika and still be relevant?
