I've got all three of their albums and Bayani is by far my favorite one. His style of rhyming and the jazzy beats you mentioned are fantastic.
I'd never heard of Blue Scholars till reading this post. But it made me go looking for the CD, and I have to say it's pretty damn amazing. Smooth old school flow over the jazzy beats is great!
Thx for bringing them to my attention.

Eyedea and Abilities have a new album out called "First Born". Anyone who was a fan of "E&A" or "the many faces of Oliver Hart" will enjoy this album. Much more grown up sounding album than anything they've done before. I'm diggin it.

VINNIE ING PAZ!
I heard a new Kanye song on Entourage sunday, it kicked ass!!!
SICK ALBUM!
WC- Guilty By Affiliation
Sick album. I've been waiting for another solo from him for a while. This doesn't disappoint.
Westsiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
heard the whole album and its amazing..... i worked 16 hrs today and one of those hours was spent in AA. but then i went back to work and closed there and thanks to GRADUATION i was still moving like it was 8am
So in related news, Ultimate Victory is pretty ing good. The Offering is still probably AOTY, but this is the .
Not to pleased with Welcome to the Zoo though. If I wanted Jeezy, I'd just pop in The Inspiration.
Cunninlynguists - Dirty Acres (coming November 21st 2007)
album of the year candidate, just heard the advance and it is amazing and I am not just saying that to say that. incredible stuff. KNO is one of the best producers out there PERIOD!

i'll be getting it for sure. last album was stellar.
YEAH.
Where'd you hear an advance and can you please share it?
Phil, have you picked up any of Kno's excrementals albums? It's all their instrumentals and they are just sick.
Speaking of instrumentals, I just picked up Rob the Viking's instrumentals and it kicks ass. For those who don't know, Rob the Viking makes a ton of beats for Swollen Members, Abstract Rude, Son Doobie, Moka Only etc.
i've seen it on the site i get stuff from.
oh, and the new Yesterday's New Quintet album - Yesterday's Universe, is good.
The new album or the instrumentals?
yea if you want the advance pm me and get my aol screename and i will send it that way.
sent. It's not one of those preadvanced copies that constantly says "preadvanced" throughout the songs is it?
J Dilla fans, a must have.
Wajeed presents the War LP
yea it is lol... sorry ,but it is actually not too bad with it. lot of gaps in between.
i sent you tracks 1 and 2, let me know if you still want the rest.
Thanks for sending them, haven't listened to them yet, gotta hit the sack.
I'll probably pass on the rest, that stuff really bugs the out of me.
Thanks again and I can't wait for this to be released.
That second track is amazing, just as I had expected. Cunninlynguists are far beyond any other group right now and their albums not only never disappoint, but exceed expectations.
Phil, does Kno rap on this one or did he stick to production much like on "a piece of strange"? Does tonedeff make any guest appearances?
i can check it, but i doubt the site i get stuff from would allow something with extra sound like that to be allowed. they have very strict criteria for what is allowed on there, people get banned for pre-advance overdubbed stuff like that. it's been on there for a couple weeks, but i'll check the comments before i get it.
