t's a shame that a lot of people didn't know about this album (True Magic), cause it wasn't promoted right,i think.. The whole album is dope though, real hip hop.
@KickWhitesOutAfrica dont say that ghetto people what u mean is people who live in poverty dumbass white people came up with the ghetto to put the jews and the startded to use that for blacks
This song slipped under radar. The lyrics are simple, but the message is powerful. Mos Def like many other artists are slept on because of the substance in their music.
First... Mos has four of my all-time favorite songs; Umi Says (including the Zero Seven remix), The Panties and U R the One. How can one bruh be so talented yet not be considered one of the greatest. Perhaps if he was a bit more selective with his production output. Just thinking about those for songs makes you wonder why he spends time making ish that just doesn't carry a fly melody/beat/hook/whatev...
those are my slaps too!!!! glad to see another person that knows how to appreciate MOS DEF'S advanced lyricism, quality performances, and good music :)
