Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!

[Sasha]

By far the best hip-hop (if you can even call it that) record of the year. I'm floored.</p>

5. Break &ndash; 3:18

8. WTF! &ndash; 5:29
9. Scared Money &ndash; 3:48

Every single track is epic.</p>

The catch is you can get the album for free or you can choose to pay $5 (like Radiohead did earlier in the month). Either way, you get the same product with a .pdf file that doubles as a booklet that features all the lyrics and credits and whatnot. The thing with paying $5 is you can get it in lossless format.</p>

Thanks for the heads up on his album. I've been waiting for it and I'll definitely pay the $5.00 to support the artist. What does lossless format mean?</p>

The only downside being that applications like iTunes don't support it. Thus, you can't play it in iTunes or put it on your iPod. There's not even a plug-in for it. Good thing is that if you pay, you get 320Kbps MP3's as well, so it's pretty close to lossless.</p>
