Mos Def
 

I can't believe there isnt a thread on Mos Def. Anyways..some tracks i think everyone should check out are..

The Boogie Man Song
Hip Hop
Close Edge
Sex, Love, & Money

Black on Both Sides in my personal favourite album. The New Danger is however a lot more diverse and experimental. Some really solid tracks on both albums.
Discuss.

If you have that can you up it for me pleasee?

I really like Mos Def, he does a lot of really interesting things in his music to make it so diverse.
He also has a smooth voice and can play the guitar, good combination.

Sunshine
Zimzallabim
Sex, Love, & Money

Yeah, ill upload it now...Snickers do you like The Boogie Man Song?

The Boogie Man Song was sick, I like it.

"Let me be your fav. nightmare, close your eyes and I'll be right there"

Yeah it's pretty tight, I like most tracks on that album though.
It's not one of my favourites because it's so chill for so long and the beat doesn't differentiate.

Its by far my favourite Mos Def song on any album. Its trailed closely by "Hip Hop"...and i gotta thank you for getting me into this guy. Once you sent me that upload, i havent been able to stop listening to him.

The Boogie Man Song
"See me, want me, get me, touch me
Feed me, fuck me, love and trust me
This whole world is cold and ugly
What we are is low and lovely"

It's an excellent album.
The guitar/piano combo on that song is ace.
I'm noticing this because I've listened to it four times lol.

Black on Both Sides.
Everyone Enjoy and then post their opinions on it.

Thanks man, will do.

I'm a little dissapointed in myself, but the only Mos Def I've heard is his stuff on Black Star. Never really bothered to listen to his other stuff, I'm going to have to get on it.

this is the stuff my bro gave me...I like it
Umi says
Close Edge
Time
definition-with talib Kweli

im also impressed with his acting abilities

Mathematics > Close Edge

i mean Mos def has been a great artist so this doesnt suprise me that this album is this good

i would like to listen to mos def, he seems like he would have talent, if his acting says anything about his music

I like his song Umi a lot.

I wouldn't say his music is too different from all the commerical stuff that's ou there now but I sense that there's real meaning and emotion behind his voice and or lyrics.
That's pretty much why I like him. That and because of his image and the origniality in his music.
It's not like every other song is about sex and I imagine videos that go with his songs don't have pictures of women performing degrading acts.

You're contradicting yourself...at first you saud he isnt too different from any of the commercial stuff out there...and then you proceed to say that you like him because of his Originality....

i am acting the part of a stereotypical female: indecisive. :)

I guess I should say that i don't know really know why I like him and can't begin to fathom the reasons either.

I against I is a song nobody has mentioned which is up there with the best. Black star is one of my favourite purchases in the last year.

not really a fan of Mos but i really like his Ms. Fat Booty track and Ms. Fat Booty #2.

Black on both sides album is solid from start to finish.

i dig mos def, he's so real. favourite songs are the panties, sex love and money. actually he did a killer track with massive attack called I Against I, its awesome check it out if you get the chance.

i like "close edge"
and his "wylin out" track with diverse, and prefuse 73.
I'm also amazed at his acting, anyone catch him in that hbo flick where he plays a doctor?

yeah. that new album was LAME and you all know it. way below what it SHOULD have been. stop making petty excuses.

When is his new record coming out? I thought it got delayed.

Yeah, he is a great artist. He is one of the most underrated rappers in Hip Hop in my opinion.

that 1 on new danger that sampled 'Head for Sunshine' was IMO the best. One of the best freestylists I've seen

Most Def Are Simply SickMade

What in the fuck?

its one guy =/

mos def is one of the illest mc's period!

Agreed

his acting aint half bad either

Yeah, i liked him in 16 blocks. And he's great in Chappelle's Black Bush skit hahaha.

check out the hbo flick where he plays the doctor who first discovered how to do heart surgery or something, it was good. he acted great.

Something the Lord Made, its pretty sick. He was fantastic in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy to, exactly how I imagined Ford to be.

anyone watch that interview between him and al gore?

that was pretty dope

No, but i would be interested in seeing that..i'll look for it later on.

I Love love love Mos Def. Black on Both Sides was a hip hop classic. Favorite track has to be "Speed Law."

Though I must admit, his new album "True Magic" is mediocre at best.

new album, collection of rarities only. still sposed to be dope though

Mos has made some great music. I loved Black on Both Sides, his newer albums are ok but nothing on the level of his debut.
