"From the moment Kamaal The Abstract begins, it's evident that this is Tip at his most free and vulnerable, musically, up until that point. Most songs transform into (and end in) extended jams or have solos sprinkled throughout (or both). Jazz serves as the base, with Tip and his band using its colorful and intricate chord progressions to explore funk, rap, rock, R&B and soul -- sometimes all on the same song. The album is an artistic statement that's just as musically bold as it is conflicted, with a playful Tip at the center of it all, just trying to find freedom through music." Originally released by Sony, 2001, 180 gram vinyl, yellow/black/white color. Lacquers cut by Cicely Balston, Alchemy Mastering at AIR. Listening Notes booklet by Elijah C. Watson.
