nice music from sergio mendes, however a lot of un necessary rap ruining the songs, this should have been kept to minimum, you don't need it to sell good music ,to become hip these days you need rap or hip hopin your music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful fusion -- truly "Timeless", August 18, 2006

Having grown up listening to Sergio's work and being of that age group that Hip Hop first targetted, I feel that I'm representative the best demographic target for this album. Is it truly hip-hop? No. Is it truly classic Samba? No. But that's what's so wonderful about it! It's a fusion of both and it totally works. Will I Am and Sergio have managed to take the sound of both and temper them to each other -- creating a cacaphony that is delightful as well as engaging. The sound is fresh and classic at the same time -- a difficult combination to accomplish. Especially since a lot of hip hop these days taking a generic turn and the genre of sampling is using the same tired turnes for every other song (samples of samples, compounded up to 3 times in the hip hop community!) I wish there were more of it!

If your truely objective, you'll find that this a beautiful piece of work. It's not Classic Sergio, and it's certainly not Sergio and The Roots. But the melody and the beat on "Loose Ends", compliment each other just as well as Pharoah Monche does Justin TimberLake. "Kindness is Timeless" and India Aire makes is just that easy. Like it or not, after one listen, your gonna find yourself saying, "it's that heat that heat that heat"
