I had been waiting, seriously, for three years for that thing to drop. I absolutely loved <i>Legendary Status</i>, but it just didn't seem like anything on <i>Perseverance</i> matched, say, "Lung Collapsing Lyrics" or "Putting Heads to Bed" — which are so totally unfuckwithable. I just felt like his motormouthed flow didn't really gel with Madlib's production. I'll give it another shot, tho. Also, I love Percee, but have you ever seen him live? The most recent time I saw him, the first twenty minutes of his set, no lie, was just him making his DJ play different cuts from this remix album while he nodded his head to them. By the end of the set, even the DJ was like, "Come on, Perc, are you gonna rap for them?" Man, I have to say, the Percee record didn’t connect for me, either.

You must have had some hiiiiigh expectations, there. :) That being said, a remix LP of it is extremely unnecessary. It marks the 3rd mix for "Ghetto Rhyme Story" (and considering how great the "Bee Eye" mix was, that's makes 1 mix too many) and "2 Brothers from the Gutter" is just *not* the same song without the Contra sample. “Perseverance” disappointing?!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one out there that doesn't "get it." I've been lambasted so many times for my opinion in the past. If i wanted to hear an old guy drunkenly slur through a bunch of same-sounding songs, I'd go hang out in my grandad's bathroom and listen to him sing Navy songs in the shower. Pretty much the same thing. Are you guys gonna be getting the new Vampire Weekend? Yancey — agreed on Robert Pollard.
