"Diamonds From Sierra Leone" -- what a fantastic song

[WindRavenX]

I completely forgot how good Late Registration is-- this single is fantastic! Great mixing and great song for an undercovered issue-- blood diamonds.

2. No kidding!

Is it a single now? I picked that as one of my three favorite songs on that CD. I also love the one where he samples the old Gil Scott Heron song, Home is Where the Hatred is.

5. I had no idea.

There aren't exacly a lot of hip hop stations in the small town I'm in lately.

4. yeah, it's one of three singles from the album

"Diamonds" was actually the first single, released a month before the album. So it's been out for a while. But I can't stop listening to it.

6. Never heard of them

But I will check them out. Has anyone heard of "Fruit," a band from Australia? Three women, one plays the French horn and two play guitar. Freakin' awesome, powerful harmonies and poignant lyrics.
