"I still primarily listen to this album!"
"I love all the slow, easy listening songs on this album, way better than what's on the radio. I also looked up the wikipedia page for the album, so many producers worked on this album and it shows. * Note: The Motto didn't come on the download, so I might just have to download it at an extra cost. Best songs: - The Ride, I like how he goes in and out of first person / third person."

"Exactly as seller advertised!"
"For some strange reason I bought this on impulse not really a huge fan of this stype of music the album is fantastic if you love this style though, i just have always loved falling and they had the vinyl version on sale, recently saw alicia keys promoting her new album and the women really looks like a beautiful woman now!"
"Brilliantly arranged great mastering and interesting riffs and rhythmic lines."
"It is Keys' combination of musical interpretation, prolific lyrical ability, soulful voice and vast range of influences (who include Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, among others), that give her the staying power as an entertainer."
"I purchased this for my daughter and she still enjoys it years later."
"I think she is much like Mariah Carey, though, in the sense that her voice (and Alicia's piano playing) is more suited to ballads, and acoustic music than to the more "pop" or "funk" or whatever you want to call it music that they do."
"New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh" skips the politics and injustice at the heart of so many of Badu's recordings.

"The CD sounds amazing after all these years."
"Gotta go hear some Rhymin and Stealin to make me happy again :)."
"Brings back memories of H.S."
"First CD I ever got, excited to have it on vinyl now too."
"Anyone who likes the Beastie Boys should definitely purchase this album, even if you've heard it all already. If you haven't, strap in and prepare for great rhymes, clean beats and some thick bass. I strongly caution anyone who leans toward cheaper headphones as the basslines in some of these songs will wreak havoc on lower quality drivers."
"this is a great album."
"sounds great, great album."
