That album is pretty good too. I thought Mos was flying under the radar, but he got 3 nominations at this year's Grammy's for The Ecstatic

[merkseason09]

one of the greatest albums ever, 3rd on my list

[erikmaxfunk]

Dj Premier produced this album, its fucking sickk,

second beat is chill!

[DynastyLuminous45]

Premier only did the Mathematics beat though.

Brilliant song and brilliant album though big up to hiphop.

[zeusforlife2002]

@erikmaxfunk - Primo did this???!!!!??? Never knew that...guess I learn something new everyday....SELAH

one

[erikmaxfunk]

@zeusforlife2002

Primo produced this, he didnt make the beats, xept mathematics, but to me this whole album has that Premier texture

Red Hot Chili Peppers!!!

[Videogamekid1992]

@neotri45  Where do they fit into this, sir?

[neotri45]

@Videogamekid1992 "Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner, Sometime I feel like my only friend. It's the city I live in..." - Those are the opening lyrics to the Red Hot Chili Peppers 1991 single Under The Bridge. Mos Def paying tribute. Respect!

[hoofbite666]

second beat is sooooo nice

[MFskip]

[SubCityUK]

Ah! It was good to start and even better once the Roy Ayers sample gets in the loop. N.I.C.E
