5.0 out of 5 stars Experimental Hiphop dope, June 19, 2005

This album should have 4stars, but I give it 5 stars because god fortune is really underrated...

These 2 guys are still very good without Beans, their flows are catchy. The Beat? Very experimental, but not overly cerebral. Don't take care about the bad reviews, if you don't like experimental sound, please, don't write a review with only 1 star...it's just a question of taste. If you like new hip-hop with strange sounds , catchy flows, intelligent lyrics, and the antipop consortium univers, buy it. If you like 50cent and gangsta...I think you will hate this Album.

I just heard this album, and man, who woulda thought they'd get over on Beans! So, this LP packs heat - all that ill casio s**t is here on the beats, also some totally out-of-leftfield ish on some interlude instros! I thought I was contemplatin' buying lunar land at one point! I wonder if they can get any moer sci fi than this. My favourite cut is "Monday Through Sunday", heavy, heavy wordplay here by M Sayyid!!!! I hope they release some more singels...

M. Sayyid has come a long, long way. I liked his rapping in Anti-Pop, but I always thought he was more . . . conventional that Beans or High Priest; here, on this record, Sayyid is on fire. There is more brilliant wordplay here in one verse of his than on many other rappers' entire outputs! But High Priest is my favorite rapper going. In terms of pure impact, I'd put him up there with Gil Scott-Heron and Linton Kwesi Johnson and Prince Far I and Chuck D and Yusef Komunyakaa. Beyond the conventions. Someone else wrote (I'm paraphrasing here) that the beats are too ordinary. Yeah, I'd like to see where they go with all this, and press that beats beyond the limits on the next release. But if you like "Good Fortune" you should also chase down their two "mixtape" CDs ("Coming Soon: A Prelude to 'Good Fortune'" and "Close Encounters") which are NOT excerpts from this CD, rather they are different, intriguing, highly experimental songs in fragmentary form. Some incredible beats and words. I think those mixtape CDs, along with "Good Fortune," give the most accurate picture of where this band is and where they're heading. Up!
