[91humza]

3:39 the women tried not to bop her head to the tune but she couldn't resist lol.

[ZR0SuM]

[goscinnydavid]

Water bottles everywhere!

[Nina513]

Mos Def is the epitome of an artist...He believes in his work and is not afraid to take risks. We all can learn a thing or two from that.

[DreadfulControversy]

Man I definitely got to do a track with him one day. Best artist ever, I swear.

[makemoneyspendmoney]

0 dislikes. No need to explain why.

[wallah05]

Mos! Keep makin it happen...

[andyzweb]

Mos Def is a pro. My first exposure was back in '02 with the We are Hip Hop box set. He's always showcasing the work of other artists through collaboration and raises the bar with each release.

Nice gear in that room.

Did I spy a SSL 9000J?

I think there were some NS-10s and a Lexicon reverb.

Anyone else catch any other gear?

[fowad88]

Two off my favourite albums of all time are Oh no's Oxperiment and Madlib's Beat konducta india, So to hear one of my favourite rappers of all time utilising these amazing beats, you can only imagine the excitement I felt.

[letmeloginyoucunt]

why does he have ring on his wedding finger..

[mrfu294]

Why are they using two mics, and why is one a dynamic?

[noutjie]

@mrfu294 maybe the dynamic one isn't plugged in?

[mrfu294]

@noutjie na it definetly is because if you look at the waveforms at 1:42 you can see its a stereo track....

perhaps the dynamic is being chained to different outboard gear or reverb unit

[alienmahar]

We wanna see slick rick!!

[ADdadirector]

My favorite hip hop artist up to date...

[HipHopcheerleader]

Lookin up "auditorium". This brotha is BAD!

[LivinNostalgia]

[jvc302]

@LivinNostalgia this one is produced by Oh No

[zaminium]

Best hip hop album i have heard in a LONG time... Put it this way i went out and BOUGHT it because Mos Def deserves my money...

[ThePrettygirlz]

I LOVE YOU MOS

[pistonear]

yup. really i am suprised most people don't recognize that. instrumentals hard to get interest in that, especially when you cross genres.

[pistonear]

yup

[IakonaWayne]

for what? He's a bit eccentric and has a funny voice(ever seen 16 blocks). No disrespect, he's one of my fav. artist. Calm down.

[lasthoughts]

[icecreamprincess09]

@lasthoughts twilight speedball off the ecstatic. dope track!

[IakonaWayne]

LOL mos def is kinda weird, and his voice kills me...

[Nerdbama]

@IakonaWayne smfh....stop posting please....

[CiphaRadio]

This video is Dope! Global Vision Studio does sick work! Can I get a video?

[Phocus3]

This is a real talented dude, u can tell he takes the art seriously too. No entourage in the studio, no unnecessary Jewellery or sunglasses for swagger purposes, just casual comfortable attire to work in. There's too many 'artists' out there, especially today's commercial rappers, who put swagger, sales and money higher on their list than the actual music, then have the nerve to call themselves the greatest rapper alive. Much respect to the Mighty Mos Def, the REAL greatest rapper alive!!!

[Gtrplyr1]

Real artists care not for record sales.

[paperorpaper]

I love how he totally thinks his albums through. Song by song. Never mind sales. Do the fans like it? Does he like it?

[wamutogoria]

Mos Def is the BEST

[KickWhitesOutAfrica]

Press PAUSE at 0:06 is that a picture of 'Mary mother of Jesus' on the back of his jacket?  I'm confused... is Mos Def Muslim or Christian? He can't possibly be both.

[Definition32910]

@KickWhitesOutAfrica Muslims believe that jesus was one of the most improtant messanger of god. thye like jesus. they just believe that mohommed was the last messanger of god. but They like jesus.

[jtiga]

@Definition32910 christians believe Jesus is God..

[g4thz]

@TScREWdLe different Christians believe different things.

But let's talk about this album: "the greatest, the greatest!"

[jtiga]

@TScREWdLe read the bible..

[AdriBaby91]

Mos talks funny but i loveeee it lol =]

[jasminelefleur]

he has a great smile.

[MischiefMaker37]

7:02 is he playing a high school dance?

Where the fuck is he?

I've never seen that many whit people at a hip hop show.

[valenecia]

@MischiefMaker37 Mos' music is universal :) Don't hate, appreciate.

[MischiefMaker37]

how am i hating if i'm white?

[Great0ne1]

@MischiefMaker37 You don't have to be a certain color to hate something

[MischiefMaker37]

It was an observation dick

i wasn't hating on Mos

[Great0ne1]

@MischiefMaker37 Well you could've made it more apparent Einstein.

[MischiefMaker37]

more apparent

it's not like i said fuck mos def

there is literally nothing directly derogatory about mos def

i was commenting on the audience

Einstein.

[Great0ne1]

@MischiefMaker37 Well you didn't have to personally insult me like you did.

[MischiefMaker37]

You jumped in randomly with a comment dripping in smarmy sarcastic disdain

[Great0ne1]

@MischiefMaker37 Whatever just enjoy the video

[ways2makemoneyonline]

Very good video :) You are a source of learning thanks :) To share ideas please watch my videos and leave a comment thanks :>

[EaglePat33]

he recording with two mics?

[namkooc]

Fashawn had one of the best hip hop albums of the year in my opinon very underatted

[UberJason]

@namkooc It's a lovely album indeed. Exile and Fashawn, nice duet.

[FerreNL]

Mr Flash

[BeauSmithRanch]

Didn't know he was working with Jan Fairchild, that guy is one of the best. Very nice!

[miguel024420]

m o s d e finitly

[groovinonasunday]

software is Pro Tools. The white guy is Jan OdubD Fairchild who mixed The Ecstatic and has worked with Mos Def for over 5 years.

[ronniekarate]

Embassy is hot! The bible, the koran in the draw all depending where you are, tender whispers through the wall, she was calling on god. Good Morning... Yes!

[ali2i6]

Definitely the best album of 2009. Number 2 would have to be Brother Ali's "US" album. But goddamn, The Ecstatic is on-point, had that album on repeat for the whole summer.

[icablock28]

agreed brother ali don't get enough respect

[pecachon2000]

wheres the lower 3rds. who is the white guy? ya'll need to upgrade your production skills

[TheZburatorul]

what program was that used there in the studio?

[KozmotheKid]

thats pro tools

[FDAALLDAY]

Ptools

[zAhLbeRG]

Damn this is some dope shit as usual, everything he puts out is straight fire! im tellin ya

[LIQUIDSTEELTV]

Mos Def, thorough as usual. Nice edit on the vid

[icablock28]

BEST ALBUM FROM 09

[Sano213]

co sign

[stillthewhizz]

Agreed. One of the best for a while too.

It really shouldn't work but it does as Mos carries the sometimes erratic production. Embassy is a prime example - a song that is all over the place, but Mos' flow, and the thumping beat, work.

Also it's Mos' album, there aren't a load of cameos from other artists but when there are, like Slick Rick in Auditorium, they're so on-point it's untrue.
