I bought both of these CD's and at first was very disappointed in what I heard. I guess was just expecting Ish to come with some Digable-era funk. My mistake/fault. After repeated listening, I warmed up nicely to this new direction. Everyone interested in something different from the norm should check for it.

Oh, and I believe it's "Hell to the naw (no)" not hail to the North.

Truth: I repeatedly tried to decipher that line and had a feeling I was mishearing it. I think you're right.

This album is truly incredible, amazing and outstanding. Its totally something thats far far away from being something considered normal hiphop. The sounds on this record is definitly beautiful and unpredictable. Im not surprised that Ish made another classic im jus seriously impressed and wasnt expecting to hear great shit like S.P. To me this album is like the marriage between like sci-fi and soul music. While alot of producers are reheatin the same jazz/soul loops, Ishmael is miles ahead of them, with instinctive originality. Shabazz Palaces is something that came from Ish's soul and not from his ego, this is like 100 years into the future on some 2109 hot, hot, creative shit.
