I know that Mos Def sucks as a rapper thats it. I can't stand his music its just so uninspired and lame seriously he should stick to robbery or whatever the fuck he was doing
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
these are seriously the best drums ive ever heard on a track its not just a loop they speed up slow down become solo then have the other sounds come back in the way they kick in wit talib at 2:04 GODDAMN! aayatolah killed this! mos and talib dope as always.
i literally bumped this CD every day in 8th grade on my way to the bus stop for school and on my way home. and was in heavy rotation for the next 4 yrs. it feels so good to hear this every now and again! REAL HIP HOP WILL live on.
This is real music. I'm digging Mos. He is nasty for sure. Top 10 greatest ever. Check out more hip hop dopeness at cleverelementsdotnet for a rapper named Munchini who is cut from the same cloth if you love real music. Support the underground.

You never know when your fate is gonna switch hands, get todays solid ground out of yesterdays quicksand.. Mos Def and Talib Kweli are the truth kids. Music like this will never be made again by any of them wack cats out nowadays who write corny ass lyrics and use hooks based off of old nursery school rhymes..
This needs to be labeled a classic album as any other albums that have been labeled classic like illmatic and ready to die and all eyez on me. Mos Def be speakin that real shit
one of mos defs hottest tracks fuck you mother fuckers who see dont know music unless its on itunes, i bought this cd the day it came out and im white mother fuckers .... lol peace
He's amazing. This track is so damn... heavy! Never disappoints me Mos Def. Sexy as hell too, or is that just me? Can't be. And I like the picture I don't think it's ugly at all lol.
