I listened to Black Star this morning too. Goddamn that is a great album. I really, really, really want to hear Dec. 99th, but I quit TIDAL a while ago. Hopefully -- because Mos Def, and even moreso "Yasiin Bey" — is such a relatively low profile artist compared to the likes of Kanye, Rihanna and Beyoncé -- they'll only make it a TIDAL exclusive until tomorrow.
I can't imagine there's a shit ton of money to made in holding a Yasiin Bey album ransom for weeks/months. His fans have been his fans for nearly 20 years, and TIDAL isn't going save itself by tapping into that particular demographic.
Crossing my fingers and holding my breath for a Friday iTunes/CD release.
