  • I'm reachin the height that you said cannot be I'm bringin the light but you said we can't see Saw the new day commin, and it look just like me

    Mos Def is the only rapper i know that makes me turn myself inside out with his lyrics

  • Comment removed

  • Wow. My opinion is now changed on Mos Def. I am now hearing a bunch by him and he is off the planet way on another level. Real talk from the Irish Media Nerd.

  • haha i love this guy

  • R.I.P. Hip-Hop

    1980 - YMCMB

  • @V3093

    Feelin' this! --> 1980-YMCMB

    That's a ILL way to put it.

  • This is my favorite album of all time.

  • "Like a love, transforms into the love of grammer?" No. Sorry. Damn.  Black on both sides.

  • Fucking 240p I hate you...

  • i listened to the rap attack and held the radio close

  • Black On Both Sides is probably a top 3 hip hop album of all time for me.

  • I see yall like that real & good hip hop! lol check out the music on my page you'll definitley find some good music, bless you all and i hope to make fans from each one of you.

  • This is music!

  • MoP Sparta was actually decent, although nothing is they make is going to be close to to the death.

  • WE BELIEVE IN THE PROMICE FOR 2012!!!!

  • My mom said she was in love when she made me/ Til' I was old enough to work now I'm broke as can be.

  • @stchaltin someone outside the world :S

  • I like very,

    

  • This was a great album.

  • check the blackstar song on my page

  • Big up for brother Sam:)

  • I know a few understand what I'm talkin' about.

  • who the hell could dislike this?!?!?!?

  • :)

    

  • we believe in the promise of the infinite... (~'~)

  • Ive literally been searching for 2 hours on youtube to find a song by Mos Def that i DONT like lol :D

  • chur, fucken to much alright buddiz

  • i can see the peace n hope on this brother cause hes muslim mannn

  • This guy keeps hip hop alive, he may not be the only life support it has right now, but hes a legend that finds a way to get attention regardless of his vow not to sell out.

  • Am i the only one who gets lost in his voice?

  • Masterpiece.

  • @groundpounder35  ohhhhhh yes hands down

  • RIP BROTHER SAM

  • i be the funky drummer that softin the hard earth

  • yes yes y'all

  • <3

  • rapers now a days sing about getting their lollypop licked. bring back the real lyrics

  • @thuglobao I hate rapers, lmao

  • @83alx i hate rapers to lol

  • @SW4TR3PP1N too* ;)

  • @SW4TR3PP1N

    Yah I hait spelin two

  • @jdotpenneyatcomputer the irony LOL

  • @thuglobao it's amazing how one letter can totally change the meaning of a sentence.

  • @araknidkid LOL

  • @thuglobao rapers? lol

  • @thuglobao Why the fuck are you talking about Lollipop nearly 4 years after it was released?

  • @Aardvarked88 Hes making a point about the lyrical content of modern rap if youll even call it rap.

  • @BerktownxD Except his point is bullshit and based on misinformation and ignorance and a desperate attempt to get attention and the approval of a bunch of strangers on the internet.

    Curren$y, Jay & Kanye, Danny Brown, Kendric Lamar, The Roots, Big Krit, The Roots, Raekwon, A$ap and plenty more release dope albums this year and you salty motherfuckers are still complaining about modern hip-hop? Shitting on lil' wayne is old and boring as fuck, you all miss the point of hip-hop music.

  • @thuglobao You talk about Mos Def like he's from the 80s and not releasing good shit today... Def started in 94, always been good, there is plenty of music that is still fantastic in every genre, you people crying that music sucks today don't seek music out.

  • @amgoD I agree, you just have to find the music you desire. It's just because they are spoon fed horrible, soulless music through record labels that try to sell their artist regardless of genre or talent.

  • where is mos def?

    ...

    hip hop of these days is all about calling women bitchez and smoking weed...

    MOS DEF COME BACK AND SAVE US ALL!

  • Classic HipHop Right here!!!

  • It's too bad Mos Def didn't get with Nujabes before he died. Woulda made for some good music.

  • @KVonnegut mos def is not dead! xD

  • Comment removed

  • @djfgr1 Nujabes passed not Mos. RIP Nujabes.

  • @KVonnegut All the same, he's collaborated with quite a few next-level Japanese producers. DJ Honda (the timeless "Travellin' Man" and another tune), DJ Deckstream ("Life Is Good"), DJ Krush ("Can You See The Light?"). He's been one of the most internationally friendly MCs here in the states. But I agree about Nujabes. His work was truly out of this world. I'd like to see Mos get with TokiMonsta, the Korean producer on L.A.'s Brainfeeder Records.

  • @99SilverSrfr

    No, The last emperor is way better then mos def, in my opinon, The last emperors lyrics are so damn surreal!

  • the thing thats sad is people dont buy his shit or anything any more even tho he gives us the gift of good music and real standards he probably only livin decent if he got just 1 dollar for every play on youtube hed be str8

  • top 10 hip hop albums of all time for me.. 1great adventures of slick rick-slick rick 2pacalypse-2pac 3like water for chocolate-common 4BLACK ON BOTH SIDES-might MoS DeF 5 awol- az 6 stillmatic-nas 7kanye west-twisted dark fantasy 8the tipping point- the roots 9 reasonable doubt- jay z 10 food and liquor-lupe
  • @SirTrickyDick69

    You have Stillmatic, but not Illmatic? lmfao.

    And where the hell is Liquid Swords?

  • @ANTIanitmetalclub if you notice I said top 10 for me, as in highest impact albums TO MY hip hop existence. there are a ton of OTHER CLASSICS, liquid swords, life after death, illmatic, pieces of a man, 36 chambers, cuban linx, doggystyle, the chronic to name a few. but the top 10 I listed are MY PERSONAL favorites. I'm not going to include albums that aren't my TOP favorites just because they are heralded as classics by everyone else even if I like them a lot.

  • @SirTrickyDick69

    lol relax bro, I was just messin around. I like bouncing my opinions off of other people's just for fun. And yeah, I get the difference between favorites and what you consider to be the "best." haha

  • LOVE

  • @Micr0fOn

    LOVE 

  • @MrRipper222 Pretty much...

  • I'm went up to a worker at the music store and asked if they had "Black On Both Sides". He said "what?" (he was white lol) so I said nevermind and walked away. I decided to go to the clearance box and there it was right next to The New Danger!

    My life is officially complete

  • @BoxOfOranges84 Lol!!

  • mos def is one of the most lyrical rappers but you know people get stuck in one mode of rap style listen.....Mos def you get mad trophies for every single rhyme you ever put out never no half ass lyrics. the radio is like a mcdonalds.

  • mos def is sooooo dope lol man its these dudes named "Good Vocation" that did a song to his beat...and it was the best remake i have ever heard...real talk...check it out yall word up....these dudes are next coming outta chicago

  • This has Golden Era written all over it.

  • I use to be addicted to this record right here..

  • thumbs up if you are excited that Mos Def is going to guest star in the new season of Dexter.

  • @itmmblack327  what is dexter ?.

  • They say that goodness in life belongs to those who believe. So, I believe.

  • "I start to think ... I sinked in the paper like I was Ink" Rakim I listened to the Rap Attack too and yeah they stole lights from the street lights CLASSIC BROOKLYN, Nothing like a Brooklyn reared genius,

  • Real shit, Def one of the dopest niggas around.

    Can't even call him a rapper really, especially when you hear shit like "Roses" or "Pistola" off Ecstatic, you see this niggas shit is just on a whole different plane, dude an artist if anything.

    Mos Def'll never be main stream because you gotta listen to dig it, this shit not for dumb niggas.

    Search Eddie Pesos "Greatness" Puerto Rock kid from PA, I guarantee y'all wont be dissapointed.

  • @PurpleHaze1824 why do you keep saying niggas?

  • "My pops said he was in love when he made me"

    That has gotta be the greatest compliment that a parent can tell his (or her) child..

  • @Division1985 how its just sayin that he used to be in love when he got to have sex and make him lol

    

  • corporations started tv, to say they killed means its been dead forever. you can think that if you want

  • so... we all are out for ourselves and what not but these new artist come from a small town in VA where the music scene is ZERO. YOUtube is the only way for them to get heard. if you are into new music and care to support some REAL artists PEEP THIS:

    "im going." NEJATI

  • Truly a beautiful mind.

  • @jkman10- Eric B and Rakim were before mos def, i'm guessing them.

  • Did the chorus in this song come from Eric b and Rakim's "i know you got soul"? Or did Mos Def write them first?
