This.  I'm fiendin

Judging from tweets from him and his team, it seems like they're mastering on the re-release of his mixtapes for retail....maybe a compilation of some of the more popular songs from the three bodies of work

 

[dior paint]

They're releasing the entire trilogy as one body of work for retail.

Crossing my fingers and toes that he blesses us with a new track or two... or 7

all in all i just dont see that many complaints to be had if you're actually there. i imagine its hard to judge from camera recordings, even if they're good cameras...because they're not professionally recorded. but each singer is due for some off tune and bad keys here and there.

im not saying hes a terrible singer. but hes not a good singer. maybe just an ok singer.. and once again i dont see why i would have to see him in person to judge his singing ability even if the video isnt professionally recorded.
and btw, the coachell performance WAS professionally recorded for their live feed. and its not that he doesnt sing the song exactly like the studio version that im judging him on. its that he is too often off key and very unstable pitch wise. his voice just doesnt flow out of him. its like hes straining to hit every high note, and often times than not, he fails to hit em. like i said, watch any video of someone like d'angelo, then compare it...

saw this on wshh a few weeks back. for a cover he did his thing on it, especially how he mixed in the songs in

I went to his Minneapolis show Sunday night... good stuff. I enjoyed it, prob cause I was twisted and with some good peopl
- His live band is nice. The drummer has a full pad that replicates most of the electronic sounds that can't be reproduced on a kit. The guitarist does a fantastic job of matching the recordings' sounds.

- A few times the sound would be... spacey... like I was thinking "wait, what is this..." maybe they were transitions, but it just wasn't... tight at times.

- I think he played 12 songs. Started with High For This, ended with an acoustic version of Wicked Games that was sort of a downer. Wish he would have ended with Glass Table Girls or The Birds... those two were easily my favorite cuts. Glass Table Girls was nuts.

- The light show was very good

A small complaint would be the crowd... yes, everyone sings along REALLY loudly... and it was full of girls wearing short skirts, all dolled up and pushing their way to the front. Got hit in the back several times by a chain of girls holding hands and trying to get closer. But I guess that goes with any concert.

Also I had to 

@ the lames shooting video with their phone through the whole concert. Enjoy the damn thing!

Here's the one clip I recorded:

This is pretty dope.  Made me go and listen to all the originals right after though

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Even though I %*%% with all 3 tapes, I'm still spinning certain tracks from HoB more than anything else I listen to. Party & The After Party remains his greatest work IMO.

None of his music has gotten "old" for me. @!!+ is crazy...definitely the longest I've continually listened to an artist without giving their music a break.

Loft Music bruh...

. Pure bliss. *%#@ is dangerous, man.

If you did email delivery you should have got it the second you purchased them. Check your spam. Then check your ticketfly account and see if you can retrieve them. If those 2 don't work then call

I just need the remastered trilogy in my possession. @*#$ The Zone video. I think I'll appreciate 'Thursday' a lot more once it's remastered.

 Wiz makes dumbed-down, good-vibes weed music for teenagers. Abel seems to be making music on a higher level... I'd hate to see him dumb down or change for public consumption.
