for fuck sake im trying to watch peoples youtube play lists and half the songs are blocked because its not in my region, its the most retarded thing that has happened to youtube and the net... anyway mos def is one of the true artists in hiphop, great cd i wish this song got more popular
@mustafa999999999 id put eminem above the others you listed. i rkn hes actually a really good rapper with crazy delivery. just get someone to give him some decent beats
@khris89 thank you. i've been sayin this for so long his songs are shit. his got great rapping skills but the content n beats in his songs r jus shit imo
So, this is a Universal Music Group content? No credits and no money for Banda Black Rio? Then download 'illegal content' is right! USA and all the world EVER ignores the existence of a 3rd world music and culture, so that's why sounds "FRESH" to you. ¬¬
You don't know if Band Black Rio was paid or not. They performed with Mos so I doubt they would have done if if they wouldn't have wanted Mos to use their song.
"Boogie Man" Magnetic, the flows are athletic Dimensions are perfected But the static and kinetic is power Past pressure, and mass beyond measure You can place son where ever, he... "Don't stop" Magnetic, the flows are athletic Dimensions are perfected But the static and kinetic is power Past pressure, and mass beyond measure You can place son where ever, he Bed-Stuy "Boogie Man"
The production is very good. Is he really rhyming? Not really. Almost toasting. But it's weak. If his vocals were done over lesser production this would not work. The production is very good though. However, you need both.
the pace in the video sounds slower then the pace on the album. regardless, the video and track are quality. do yourself a favor and buy the ecstatic, you wont be disappointed.
You are rock'in with the best indeed! Do you hear and see this vid!! Most original concept with simple.....man he just sold this joint right here! Surport real music.
The Mighty Mos Def has done it again. He is on a whole nother level. This is real hip-hop. It evolves. The beat is dope and the blend of his vocals and lyrics are so fresh. Thank you Dante. Big up to Brooklyn!!!
I still think Mos needs to reshoot this video. When I listen to the song on my Ipod, I'm amazed. He's singing soul, his flow is futuristic, there's much for the ears to enjoy.
Flatbush blazing like it's smoke of the prophet and it's constant remarkable artwork and God is the author from Flaco to Archer we right on target a ready steady responser a black light write in the darkness ya'll just, a fantastic rawness good morning yes
This is how you do a hip hop video. There's no "bling", no cars, and no sluts dancing. All you're doing is focusing on the artist, his lyrics, and the music.
Helps that this song is the shit too, he's returned to the infinite greatness that was Black on Both Sides. Although I did like New Danger and True Magic, BOBS is timeless to this day.
Just picked up the album today. I just hope the BlackStar reference and the fact that Kweli is on the album foreshadows another BS record. Let's all cross our fingers...
I really hope mos has good sales with this album, hip-hop needs more people like him. I really wish he would've done a video and put in rotation on BET and MTV at least then he'd have a chance to get more exposure.
i checked 106 one day randomly and almost choked seeing Q-Tip @ number 4 lol. Mos Def needs to go ahead and put it out there. This is Jesus after the resurrection lol. Its greatness.
Isn't this concept with the visual wordflow videos kind of played out? I'm i being grumpy or does this remind anyone of the "Ms. Fat Booty" video from a decade ago...with a modern twist? And hasn't talib done this video genre to death? The good thing is that Mos looks so handsome in this video, he has great features and he's incredible.
I know how u feel. i been trying to get people in my school and my friends to get into Mos Def but most of them cant comprehend wat Mos is all about. though i did get a couple of people to get into Mos. Dopest MC alive
This is Black Banda Rio, "Casa Forte". So, some of the previous comments are spot on. Mos Def just KILLED this beat. People sleep on Black Banda Rio, hopefully this will infuse some interest in their music.
