I'm going to ask for help here. There is a song that I am positive is by Mos Def and parts of it go "Niggas always wanna rhythm about the shit they don't got, let me tell you all about the shit I don't got."
Can anyone help me find this song? Been going through so many of his songs with no luck.
I heard this on the Palm Pixi advert and thought it was The Roots at first. It was very short! Then I realised who it was. Of course it's Mos Def. Doh...Love this style of hip-hop. Such an infectious track. Mos Def is so adorable. Love his voice.
please quit hatin on the last 15 yrs in rap/hip hop, if you dont like it dont listen to it. Sorry if generations change but people are starting to sound like there grandparents these days. If you have a problem do like old fans used to do before rap became what it was back then "SUPPORT YOUR ARTIST", and help them get more exposure. It is a business NOW you know. P.S. N.W.A. wasn't know hip hop bang bang boogie artist and that was over 20 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
mos def is a singer and actor if youv seen oceans 11,12 or the italain job youv seen mos in oceans 11,12 i think he was the hacker and in the italain job hes the explosive guy
I dont usually like all the "hip hop" tunes out there, but Mos Def really represent something more than all the "fuck you, I'm a gangster mo fo" bullshit being recorded for the last 15 years..
@CarryingNuclearCodes - as someone said before, I highly recommend taking a closer look. what you hear on the radio is not hip hop my friend. and there is TONS of good hip hop out there, just as good, and some better than Mos Def....
@Dubulous111 Can you give some examples of "just as good" and "better" music than Mos Def?? I'd like to listen to real hip hop and I'm sure these artists deserve more recognition and a bigger fan base. Spread the love!!!!
@tmorrisdiaz I'd suggest Masta Ace Inc, Faithless (Mumammad Ali is absolutely brilliant), and the really well-known but also fantastic A Tribe Called Quest.
Mos Def's music transcends barriers. I mean first of all, even though is is technically a hip hop track it can easily be remixed as a jungle, drum & bass or electronica dance track. His genre and style aren't even clear cut definable at times. That's how you know that he's a great artist.
Whenever I get upset from all the fake ass artist out there that can't do nothing but repeat themselves or drop info that no one would possibly care about I'm glad that I've based
Mos Def as my artistic center of those still active...
heard it on fast forward too, immediately knew who it was, ran to my laptop with my ipod in hand to get more info, and i already had the ecstatic on there :) i'm more awesome then i even know sometimes.
so excited for this album. been missin mos, glad hes doing some more music and not movies. not that his movies were especially bad, just his music is especially amazing
just download free youtube to mp3 converter.. search for it in google. its much easier than dealing with these clowns that give you links with viruses and spyware in them.
no game brought me hear.

This song is called Quiet Dog Bite Hard, right?
I'm assuming that's just a typo in the title.
Nutterbutterz95 2 years ago
Despite what the name of the song is, I am pretty sure it will be spread as "Quiet Dog" since that is what was said on Letterman (and on this title).
