Mos Def - Life In Marvelous Times

[sbautista8732WID]

@mrmultispark I thin you misspelled "pop". And even then he's not the best. Maybe behind Britney spears lol. In a way I'm glad rappers like most def, gang Starr and a tribe called quest are not super popular. Makes real hip-hop heads feel exclusive

[AlexPerez78]

Makes wanna play Fight Night

[tkinchas29412]

Effin Awesome!!

[justin20877]

The instrumental is downright nonexistent. I can't find it anywhere.

[primaudiol]

@justin20877 I searched high and low too and then after months.....youtube(dot)com/wat­ch?v=UQK6DZKZrek

tada!

[justin20877]

@primaudiol HA. Good stuff my man.

[xdiesease]

DOPE.ASS.BEAT

[BoboConan]

STFU and shove that thumb up ur ass

[YoungRapperWL97]

Thumbs up if being a Mos Def fan brought you here.

[MrSteezeMaster]

Follow me!

[TheJaydamasta]

@HiHi1234505 @cjack1 Thumbs up if it doesn't matter what borught you here :T

[SQUEEKYFART]

fight night round 4 did not bring me here, mos def being the legend brought me here !!!!

[DSmith365]

i wonder who was Mos referring too when he dis Mr. Shulman. His attitude is ulgi as sin, is he a record label exec who tried to shit on Boogieman? I wonder....

[kid1rio]

@DSmith365 roflmao, he's not dissing anyone. MosDef is Mr Showman** he's talking about himself.

[DSmith365]

@kid1rio Word, good lucks Blud. I didnt know thats an aka.

[StereoNews]

Wow I never knew Mr. Flash could produce hip hop music

[Orlando2Vegas]

Lyrical Genius

[GanjaFreedomForAll]

I think the grudge for lil Wayne stems from tha fact the hip hop is turning into something that real lyrics can't compete... Newer generations prefer the lil Wayne ADD lyrics rather than the oh shit did he say that lyrics... Shit that make RESPECT a rapper.. Eminem deserves respect nas, jay, PAC, big, common, mos def.... So as hip hop evolves into something I rather not buy into I will begin to call these songs roots rap cause that's where it leads you in to raw roots of original rap

[Eliel0424]

fight night round 4 memories :)

[callme861]

if you listen to Jay Z Kanye West or Common. You may thank this man

[91KingBoo]

It's insane Mos Def is consider a left field rapper.

[HiHi1234505]

Thumbs up if Fight Night Round 4 brought you here.

[MrRoyalace121]

@HiHi1234505 Real talk this is how i found out about mos def because of fight night round 4 and i been a mos def fan ever since :)

[cjack1]

@HiHi1234505 Thumbs up if Just being a Mos def fan brought you here

[MrMarkbad]

This is an example of a real hip hop artist. Artists like Mos Def, Roots, Talib, Lupe Fiasco, KRS 1 etc are all examples of lyrical geniuses clawing their way in to the rap industry without being "propped up" by the main stream media. The fact you can hear these artists through all the noise (young money bullshit, diddy, kanye) is a testament to how great they are. Your Welcome.

[nykballaz]

@MrMarkbad Kanye is Mainstream but he's still a genius

[MrMarkbad]

@nykballaz I will refer to @callme861's comment 6 days ago... And no, he is far from a genius.

[nykballaz]

@MrMarkbad lyricallly i wouldnt say he is a genius but in terms of production,artwork,music videos I woudld def say that

[awilson760]

One of the REAL illest Mc's...its a shame guys like Mos Def, Talib, Lupe etc. get no respect & guys like Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, and all that other trash thats out there 2day are considered to be the best!

[MrMarkbad]

@awilson760 Hallelujah.

[i2Shea]

not your 'typical' mos def beat, but he does nice with it.

[28crazycharlie]

ends can't meet where the arms cant reach mean streets, even when it's free it aint cheap. nasty flow.

[seqk3]

i wan't this beat ._.

[cielok23]

lil wayne aint shit



[takespp]

3 dislikes. Must have been friends of E.T., they had to flee.

[Pomporete]

fight night round 4 anyone???

[kcpkp3]

go home lil wayne

[Chtud]

@kcpkp3 lock the door and throw the key out the window

[mrceereed]

Great song

[36elico36]

Best Old School Rap :D

[matisaxton]

Adrenaline and motivation!

[mrmultispark]

Lil wayne tops most, if not, all rappers of today and yesterday. Those that dislike lil Wayne obviously have no taste in hip hop.

[Crayterm13]

@mrmultispark

hush, Lil Wayne can't top a bottom. He isn't better than, Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Black Thought, Phife Dawg, Lauryn Hill, Jean Grae, Mos Def, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, Curren$y, Killer Mike, Shells, Old Eminem, Los, Andre 3000, Ludacris, Big Boi, RZA, The Game and so many others he's popular, that does not equal good, if he was underground he wouldn't even get mentioned.

[xXGoDXx24]

@Crayterm13 true true.

[xXGoDXx24]

@Crayterm13 true true.

[imthebest4624]

@mrmultispark nigga is you cray lil wanye is ok in moderation



[AlexNegri1]

@mrmultispark are you fucking kidding?

[420stonedpanda]

@mrmultispark wow your a fag

[skillzdatpaythebills]

@mrmultispark are you fuckin kidding me,your saying he better than mos def,dmx,tupac,jay-z,dr.dre,kan­ye west(depends if you like him),busta ryhmes(depends aswell).you are out of your mind!

[adil115]

@mrmultispark or you have no taste i music and qualify pop to be hip hop... lil wayne is horrible.

[Mcblueboy]

Why Are We Talking About Lil Wayne ? I Thought This Was a Mos Def Track . . .

[FireTigerCeniza]

@MrRoyalace121

lil wayne is a rapper, not a MC.

MCs' are what make Hip Hop what it is.

[MrRoyalace121]

Mosdef= best classic hip hop artist :)

lilwanye = Best new school hiphop artist :)

[i104187]

@MrRoyalace121 Ahaha Lil Wayne USED to be a hip-hop artist, hes pretty much a pop artist now.

[Timchang1]

@MrRoyalace121 eat shit

[bigthingspoppinoff]

@MrRoyalace121 New School? Lil Wayne ain't new, he was rapping in 2000 even though white kids didn't discover him til 2008. But best new school artist = Lupe Fiasco or J Cole.

[LightsOutToney]

always reminds me of fight night^^

[cmad17]

3 people are the degenerates today listening to Brick Squad and Young Money. Long live the real MCs of Hip Hop still preaching today!

[CodysFavorites]

lyrics are way too fucking real

[DRcaffineCircus]

JESUS WHO DID THE BEAT

[91KingBoo]

Mos Def is the most lyrically gifted artist in history nobody can compare.... NOBODY!

[TheRatedRThuglife77]

@91KingBoo I guess.

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

If you like artists like Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Nas, and J. Cole, I think you'll like my music too. Check out the music video for my song “BAR Exam”, and my single “Man On Fire”, and tell me what you think. Any feedback is appreciated. I promise I don't disappoint.

[KeepingModern]

Tell the truth, tell it like how it is. No, not the shit you think is what we want to hear but the truth that comes from deep down, in your hours of misery alone by yourself wondering if it is the end for you. This is what I want to hear from you because this is the real you and yes we do live on the edge of human possibilities.

[judopathoftruth]

This to a Tyson highlight, the lyrics make sense

its crazy how every EA sports video game has had songs from this album on it for the last 2 or 3 years

[Ginga]

Awesome track. Listening to Mos, you're obviously going to appreciate his lyrics, but the amount of talented producers he works with is also outstanding.

[Noobslayer4444]

The game is full of himself. He is not even in the top 50 rappers.

[nubz252]

@Noobslayer4444 The Game is a bitch.

[superHolyweed]

Mos def you are beast man, keep makin the good music

[NMG4Life]

[ChrisFreedoms]

true hip hop is like another music a whole nother realm of speaking straight beauty

[langa209]

he said " Ends don't meet where the arms cant reach, mean streets even when its free it aint cheap, on going saga, terminal diagnosis,

basic survival requires super heroics.

No space in the budget for a cape.

it's when you gotta fly by night to save the day."

DO YALL UNDERSTAND HOW POTENT THAT IS MAYNE.

[KingEricTheFirst]

@langa209 they sleeping on this dudes depth...cause they aren't articulate enough to decipher what he's saying

[langa209]

@KingEricTheFirst pretty much man that line i quoted the first one is one of the best in 09 n nobody knows man its sad what hip hop has come to trading a lasting veteran immage like Mos Def with temporaly entertainers who wont be here tomorow neglected art form but hey im just one vote people gota wake up.

[AholeAtheist]

@langa209 I understand my brother. I understand.

[burkec817]

love this song..made it my ringtone haha

Life In Marvelous Times

Pretty Dancer

Too many good songs LOL

[HuRrIcAnEGaMe100]

@fooloof The Game is way better than average you don't like him cuz you like ol skool artists. The Game is amazing but i love ol skool too. . Oh and you forgot Pac so go fuckin die you prick when you forget pac i stop listening to your puny comment

[YungPinero]

@HuRrIcAnEGaMe100 that's probably cause Pac was average at best in terms of lyricism and overall style. He only broke the gauge on emotion and voice control. That's about it. =)

Now let the vehement cussing begin! haha

[fanzy1]

@HuRrIcAnEGaMe100 game cant find a way to stay relevant except by dissing fif and pac was a good lyricist but he was a better rapper he knew how to use media.

[vniguam]

I dont even believe this guy exists :P

[vniguam]

Mos Def is a legend...

[bentucky42]

some folks just can't recognize genius. this song is exactly that.

[nobodyishere2go]

yeah, this is mighty mos def ;)

[royalnash]

this is one of the worst songs on this album but dont get me wrong this album is tight compare to the a lot of the crap today it is better jay z and gucci mane album and young money album

[HeadGirl2010]

@royalnash one of the worst???...really...where they say that at...every song after Auditorium is a banger...You got to listen a little more...

[aleaz23]

Life in marvelous times...

[kanedaking]

[XaK47zX]

im feelin this shit man.

[LemonZeppelin]

Can't believe that this album lost out to Relapse. This is real shit, as opposed to Eminem's latest effort which is awful, to say the least. Mos Def ftw.
