The photo they referenced is better on its own tbh

I think it’s the artwork they picked merged with the last madlib cover

it's badly edited, a nice idea tho

i actually really like the idea of such a limited release for this album. Sales are obviously not the objective for Yasiin and Talib, so putting it out in a way that only people who really care about the album will go check it out will encourage more of a closer look at the music itself

Yea

Video blocked by Black Star, Luminary 😬😬😬

hopes for this boundless but trying to keep expectations at bay. def think Yasiin and Madlib are still more than capable of delivering a classic. but also Talib could drag into corny territory.

What’s luminary?

Audio app - Dave Chappelle and kweli do some podcasting on there. I think mos def on a few eps too

Is it free?

No

artist really hate their fans lol why they do this weird s***.

Just drop this s*** for $10 on bandcamp. At least I can add it to streaming manually.

The fans aren’t really paying for the music

When you hear 👂🏾 Mos Def & Talib Kweli you don’t think about Platinum Albums & Gold Trophies.

Yea but you’re talking about causal fans.

Fans like me that would pay $25 for this album will have to listen on some werid app when they could’ve just sold it on bandcamp or something. At least that way I can add it manually.

made 2 versions cause I was bored

Damn, pusha delivered for me now I’m getting this next week! What a time!!!

First one is a big improvement over the original

Chappelle & blackstar* podcast

Yasiin a major player in every episode

8 days till this is out inshallah

yeah apparently it was taken down and the song is called "Amen". so it's probably on the album

mirror to the demo:

I gotta pay for luminary or sum
S***? I’ll pay once just to hear the album but ima need a rip after that

Yeah this is my SoundCloud. Was from a Madlib mix on bbc radio over a decade ago. Originally for their Zambia rock album that never materialized

no but like most subscription apps there’s a 30 day free trial

I mostly listen for him tbh
