I know what you want

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
You want to talk about TV On The Radio's new joint. It's a bad idea for me to render a verdict, given I've only had the album a day. I tend to not get things the first time I hear them. I hate virtually every Outkast album the first time a hear it. A month later I'm claiming genius. That's real talk. When Bombs Over Baghdad hit, I hated it--for about a week. Now I think it's one of the greatest hip-hop songs ever. Off the top I can say I like "Crying"--like, a lot. The rest I need to meditate on.
