I love JT. I think "Future Sex" is a damn good pop record but isn't this life-changing critical monster; it's being touted because Timbaland brought in live strings for the most of the record (much like Bubba Sparxx's excellent "Deliverance" album). I have yet to cop the new Black Keys--pockets are tight after grabbing JT, Lupe, TV on the Radio, and about 10 mixtapes. But they are solid and raw and "Rubber Factory" is still my shit.

Wonder what Lil Dap is up to...maybe he can tear Primo away from Aguilera long enough to save his career.
