Admin Hero1 Posted December 5, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I can't wait for a new album! It better be strictly jazz beats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, I don't want them to sound like they are in a time warp but I don't want them to reinvent the wheel. Digable is one of the best to do it. I'm freaked when I saw this news!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think there is a higher power toying with me. About 4 years ago I decided listening to only Cool Like That for two years before that was just not enough. So ever since then I have, and I've had my friends looking as well, to find their two albums. I'm too broke to hit up Amazon, so we've waded through goodwill and other thrifty stores, and I've yet to get either of them. Now god's taunting me with talks of another one. I can't wait, but I want to pick up their first ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted December 7, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I loved 9th wonder..ladybug looks great in that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Overall, I like Reachin' better than Blowout Comb...but they are both great albums. It took me a second to adjust to the slight change in their vibe on the 2nd album when I first got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted December 7, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I definitely prefer the first album more.. I just liked the blackitolism single.. I wonder if King Britt will be back with them? He was their DJ and also worked with Jeff and is a real nice guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
