my most anticipated album coming this year

due April 29th

Game Theory was the best album of 2006, hands-down (with apologies to Ghostface)

I expect greatness from this as well

looks to be chocked full of guests

here's a run through of tracks, courtesy of EW

3/28/2008 4:51:25 PM

it's a friday yay! AND there is an unconfirmed date for a Charlotte show with Erykah:
5/16: S E C - GREENSBORO, SC
5/18: OVENS AUDITORIUM - CHARLOTTE, NC


Am i stupid that I can't find greensboro, sc a map???

3/28/2008 5:29:13 PM

why are you looking so far ahead?
or are those old dates?

because they will be at duke on 4/23 and charlotte on 4/25

3/29/2008 1:01:54 AM

i know they are coming to charlotte...I already posted that. My point is that they are going to be playing with Erykah Badu who hasn't been on tour in forever.

3/29/2008 10:11:01 AM

no, its just that your dates arent the same ones that are published on pollstar. that was my point
