Summer Suite is a 40-minute jazz fusion piece produced and arranged by Madlib, under the name The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble. This suite is a single track comprised of four major sections and several different themes, altogether feeling similar to, more more cohesive, than one of Madlib's jazz mixtapes. “Electro-acoustic space jazz” itself is a fitting description.
The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble, a faceless and nameless collective in Madlib's self-created world of jazz groups, was debuted on the album Yesterdays Universe (2007). The compilation marked the end of Madlib's first series of jazz records, the Yesterdays New Quintet cycle (2000-2007), and the beginning of a new era, an evolved sound, and many new names: The Last Electro, Jackson Conti, Young Jazz Rebels, Jahari Masaba Unit, Kamala Walker and the Soul Tribe.
Summer Suite was originally created in 2007 and given a limited release in CD-R form for buyers of Yesterdays Universe in 2007.
The Last Electro's long-delayed album Miles Away is still planned for release. Fall Suite will be released near the end of this summer.
now since ya prob cant read that scanned mos def article....let me point out some very true words... (actualy u can click on scanned article to be able to read whole thing =])
Now i direct that to not only people doing music who are like that but to people who do it aswell with their personalities. I see people around me and some are just pieces of everybody else no individuality in them. There is a difference between inspiration , admiration and just swagger jackin sumone completely . Now i dont worry too much because there will never be another me just like there will never be another you as long as you stay true to you. The mind is such a powerful yet fragile thing.
so...
DONT TAKE OFF YOUR COOL TO PUT ON ANOTHERS CUS DAS JUST NOT COOL ...INFACT ITS WACK...CORNY...LAME...

by nyc subway:
Closest Subway Stop is "2nd Avenue" on the F Train: F Train to 2nd Avenue Station. Get out at the 1st Avenue exit and walk east to Avenue B. This is the closest subway train stop, since you'll be getting out on East Houston Street, which is already below 14 Street, and you'll be getting out on 1st Avenue, which is pretty far east.
R Train to 8th Street Station. This is a bit of a walk but you're in the neighborhood. You'll end up on Broadway and West 8th Street when you get out of the train. Walk east to Avenue B, then over to East 3rd Street.
4 or 5 Train to 14 Street Station. Walk east to Avenue B, then walk over to East 3rd Street.
6 Train to Astor Place Station. Same directions as above, only you'll be about 6 blocks closer.
You can take any train to the West 4th Street Station, but we recommend that you switch to the F Train at that point and take it to the Second Avenue Station. West 4th Street Station is way west of the cafe, but it IS a downtown stop and in the vacinity. If you must go this route, it's a beautiful (but long) walk on a summer's night. Find East 3rd Street when you exit the train, and just keep walking east .....(like 8 avenues).
If you come by car, the fastest way is via the FDR drive, since we're on the east side of Manhattan. The exit is Houston Street. You've got to make a right from Houston Street to find us.
There's lots of great places to eat near the Cafe, but here are some easy standbys, in case it helps you find us:
"Two Boots" (Avenue A and East 3rd Street) "Mama's Cafe" (East 3rd between Avenues A and B) "Kate's Vegetarian" (East 4th Street & Avenue B)

Now was Kanye the most overlooked? Yes sir Now is Kanye the most overbooked? Yes sir do the fans want the feeling of A Tribe Called Quest But all they got left is this guy called West Better take Freeway, throw him on tracks with Mos Def Call him Kwa-lI or Kwe-li, I put him on songs with Jay-Z I'm the Gap like Banana Republic and Old Navy, and oooh It come out sweeter than old Sadie Nice as Bun-B when I met him at the Source awards Girl he had with him - ass coulda won the horse awards And I was almost famous, now everybody loves Kanye I'm almost Raymond' Some say he arrogant. Can y'all blame him? It was straight embarrassing how y'all played him Last year shoppin my demo, I was tryin' to shine Every motherfucker told me that I couldn't rhyme Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh So I don't listen to the suits behind the desk no more You niggaz wear suits 'cause you can't dress no more You can't say shit to Kanye West no more I rocked 20,000 people, I was just on tour, nigga I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars I went to the malls and I balled too hard 'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?' I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term African American Express Brains, power, and muscle, like Dame, Puffy, and Russell Your boy back on his hustle, you know what I've been up to Killin y'all niggaz on that lyrical shit Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips
