Kid Cudi released funky shit featuring 2 guest celebrity shots, Kanye West & Common. Simple and tight HipHop beats mixed with smooth piano sound, funky vocal sample, and scratch.

You had better buy this CD only for the title song "Make Her Say". Do not expect including songs "Day 'N Nite" and Crookers remix of this song.

The Roots 10th album "Rising Down" is out on May 25th.

I have been disappointed with their previous releases since after Illadelph halflife.
It's still not enough but their spirit of HipHop music is now back again.
I think the first album is the classic album like Nas, Illmatic. (Releases after Illmatic are all crap.)

At least on "Rising Down feat. Mos Def & Styles P" and "Get Busy feat. Dice Raw & Peedi Peedi", you can feel their organic and rugged sound.

Other guest shots are Malik B, Porn, Truck North, Saigon, Mercedes Martinez, Talib Kweli, Common, Wale, Chrisette Michele, Patrick Shump, and Wahud Ahmad.
