My music production is on point and you can judge the content & flow.

  • For the 16 dislikes you should Plank in traffic

  • I like the fact that artists like Mos Def are able have a balance between lyrics and background music so that they both don't carry each other but compliment each other.

  • @donnelloutlaw

    absolutely :)

  • Mos Def can put me in a place where I can just relax & sit back.

    Just smoke some weed & listen to the words.

    Love that shit :D

  • The moment I hear your voice Mos, I just start to smile because I know the words I'm about to hear are going to be pure and mindblowing

  • Listening to this is like mental relaxation. Soothing music killing beat, and amazing artist, support true artist.

  • Mr. Bey!!!!!

  • I know Blackstar is coming out with a 2012 album, but I also want another solo Yasiin Bey album. Ecstatic was freaking amazing!

  • Mos Def will forever be in my top 5...

  • @Jo3Duk3 - Top 3 for me, hanging with Del the Funky Homosapien and Common.

  • hottest song ever

  • that creative control thing in the right corner is pissin me of!

  • 15 guys don´t know anything about hip hop

  • Guys? What type is music is the mournful horns and trumpet playing? it's like something from the 1940's, soul or blues or something. new orleans jazz club.

  • good song

  • I like how in the beginning the blinking lights of the truck are synced with the hat

  • I detect some forms of black music I'm not familiar with in the beats, anyone help? I liked.

  • Now this is REAL hip hop & the instrumental is soo sick

  • I'm flying listening this song

  • Mos Def has a doctors degree is Hip Hop.

  • OMG i love it :) can not find the right words to describe it...

  • Mashallah !

  • @dubflowhamhead Who says Mos is underrated? just cause he ain't gettin the radio play other (mostly wack) rappers get doesn't mean we dont know hes better than almost all of them

  • talent mos def

  • Mos Def just in cruise mode, still kills it....

  • I NEED THIS SONG!!!!

  • Ski Beats go soooooo hard!

  • mos def just doesnt disappoint, his music is evolving and this song is true poetry

  • sick ass song and beat. why does the album only have the instrumental though?

  • @17thwonder Legal reasons. Fucking record labels....

  • @lowend922 Doesn't make sense. Why this specific song and not all the others then too?

  • @17thwonder "Mos Def was also scheduled to appear on the album, but was removed due to clearance issues." Stuff like that happens frequently in the music world. People cant appear on songs or samples cant be used. Mos was supposed to be on 3 tracks and he isnt on any on the actual album. You can still find them on youtube tho.

  • @lowend922 it's all good I found an mp3 version of this song via google and just downloaded it so I'm good to go.

  • This is too real for the simple minded, very complex jam

  • Real Good Music we need about 100% more of this

  • @infamous79936 Most Definitely...

  • good music

  • Sweet...

  • I rides wit Mos! Def... inately!

  • I think we all need a new Mos Def album out. Ecstatic was amazing! Such a powerful talent he is.
