but the copyright protection ruin the CD once again, I can't put it into my iPod or computer media to listen to!

What a waste!

I'm so disappointed that Amazon should state the fact if the CD is copyright protected. It could have my 5 stars.

Wow
I was - and still am- very impressed by this album. Having previously heard only a few of his songs I didnt expect very much but I decided to buy it in order to suport an artist that would truly deserve it. The production is amazing and K-OS's talent is undeniable; he's not only a rapper,his singing voice is reminiscent of Bob Marley's. This is one of those albums you want to have for life, it's a classic with the kind of tracks (Love Song, Crucial, Man I Used To Be, B-boy Stance. . . oh what the hell, all of them) that will never grow old. I hope that K-OS gets all the respect he deserves as a talented artist because that's what he is; a true artist.

POSSIBLY THE BEST HIP-HOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME
Hip-hop is dying, and its being killed by money, cheddah, the bling bling, all that crap. He tells you what he thinks, and what is damn true right off the bat. Stop it, you damn sellouts. This is such a good CD. Amazing lyrics, amazing production. This is a message that needs to reach all music listeners. This is real hip-hop. If you don't pick this up, you don't know hip-hop. Straight up. If you loved this, you'll love The New Danger, by Mos Def. If you listen to all of the last track on Joyful Rebellion, there is a secret message from K-Os himself, in a high pitched voice.

such a musically gifted guy...
He starts off with a sick slow beat lyrically sound song in mcee murda, and then goes on and on switching up his styles. everything about this CD is awsome. He'll throw some up-beat reggae at you, then switch it up to pure hip hop. I can sense a hint of jazz in this CD which adds another style to the list in K-OS's arsenal. Great CD, one of my all time favs.

One of thse albums
I picked up this album as soon as it came out and I was VERY pleased because - for the first time in a long time - every track was fantastic (nearly perfect) and the songs only grew on me after I listened to the disc 40 or 50 times. I've had a healthy respect of K-os for as long as I've known of his work.

JOYFUL REBELLION is the best disc of 2004, with the percussion that could come out of 40's New York, singing that could come out of the 70's Kingston, Spanish guitars and rich strings which are timeless, and, of course, rap that would be at home in the Bronx in the golden age of hip hop. It's varied in style, but never in quality.

Anyway, the point is, listen to the album - or in the very least, see him in concert. It's a rare thing to see someone live who you know will become a musicial legend, and it's even rarer to hear a CD which is your favourite album after the fist listen.
