Mos Def has been a patron of hip-hop at his best. I am and continue to be a huge fan of his music. I agree that hip-hop in it’s musical form is a hollow shell of itself. I hope Mos Def found some beats on this album. The hip-hop public is starving for the return to the Mighty Mos Def, but the beats and music haven’t been of great quality since his “Black On Both Sides” album. Mos if you’re listening, if you’re out there your lyricism is legendary but in this day and age if the music doesn’t catch the ear, nobody is going to listen, a BlackStar album would be great right about now also. “The Captives own the masters to what we’re writing.” It’s o.k. to party and have fun and make fun music, but hip-hop today is toxic.

I say that Talib Kweli, Black Dante (Mos Def), and Common do an album together. I would definitely cop it.

One thing i can say about Mos Def is he has pretty much remained the same over the years.But People like Jay-z they have kind da gone non lyrical.His Music doesnt mean anything anymore he cant rap about bein a dope dealer too much because hes not one anymore.Now his music to me lack structure.Mos Def 9 times out of 10 will remain the same because he raps about the struggle in the purest form.Very well noted actor and musical hip hop artist which is very slim nowadays.Mos Def he ight wit me.

Mos Def is one of my favorites. Lyrically, he brings it, and aesthetically, I’m loving it.

Peace….Mos Def..been with you since the cosby detective show..found that to be interesting..mad support..but you know..its time for the World to understand how far we as “Black”folk..have come and that its just the beginning of a new WORLD order…they speak on the pale horseman as being bad.destructive.but what if he was the opposite and to come “CHANGE” what had been dictated for so long..and they are affraid of this change ..because when the blackman find knowledge of self..we will do for ourselves..XXL..can i do a interview with anybody..about helping OUR communities of the inner cities..of the world..the forgotten races in far out places…They speak about the “RICH and FAMOUS”..but forget about the “POOR and the NAMELESS”..Young gifted and “BLACK”give the YOUTH the knowledge and they wont be left back…no child left behind…hummmmmm.sounds good but I”m from the HOOD were we are misunderstood.I live on “SESAME”street..not in Mr.ROGERS neighborhood…ding ding and no train comes.they say thats because i live in the slum.. dog wanting to become a MILLIONARE..but lack the education .motivation.and clean air..that will fill my mind and take away the fear..

WHEN MOS DEF SPEAKS…EVERYBODY SHOULD LISTEN… HE IS THE ONE OF THE MOST THOUGHT PROVOKING ARTIST IN HIP HOP… HIS LYRICS AND MUSIC ALL INVOLVE SOME SORT OF THOUGHT PROCESS UNLIKE WHATS OUT THERE TODAY… WHEN ARE PEOPLE GONNA WAKE UP AND DEMAND BETTER QUALITY IN THE ART FORM OF HIP HOP AND NOT A BUNCH OF RUSHED THRU BEATS AND POPULAR CATCH PHRASES AND BEEFS TO MAKE MORE DOLLARS FOR THE GUN TOTING FOOLS WHO PROMOTE IT… THATS WHY WHEN OTHER PEOPLE LOOK AT US THEY REALLY THINK WE ALL ACT AND TALK LIKE THAT GARBAGE ON MTV AND BET AND VH1 … CMON BLACK PEOPLE LETS BE FREE (THATS A MOS DEF SONG…LOL)
