This CD is nothing like anything I ever heard before. It reminds me of a certain Benjamin Andre CD or somewhat like Electric Circus.
Well, I got it today. You can't really describe it. It's rap, jazz, rock and more like all mixed. Lots of rock beats, totally different from Black on Both Sides. I totally respect Mos Def as an artist. It's either love or hate I guess. I didn't like Andre's album at first but now I find it good (except for My Favorite Things), so you might feel that way with The New Danger. feel free to chime in. also bay area heads the frontline cd came out too... i didnt get a chance to cop it but you know im gonna get it. tracklisting ------------TRACKLISTING------------- 01 02:23 The Boogie Man Song 02 02:20 Freaky Black Greetings 03 03:53 Ghetto Rock 04 03:41 Zimzallabim 05 01:34 The Rape Over 06 05:47 Blue Black Jack 07 04:32 Bedstuy Parade & Funeral Marc 08 04:10 Sex, Love, And Money 09 04:25 Sunshine 10 03:10 Close Edge 11 04:11 The Panties 12 03:07 War 13 03:24 Grown Man Business (Fresh Vintage Bottles) Feat. Minnesota 14 09:19 Modern Marvel 15 03:11 Life Is Real 16 05:32 The Easy Spell 17 05:19 The Begger 18 04:53 Champion Requiem --------------------------------------------------------------- total playtime: 74:51 mins. modern marvel - crazy ten minute song |

Well, if it's comparable to the Andre CD, then I'm sure I'll love it. Can't wait to go out and cop it.
I would preview it on the site you posted earlier but the sound on my comp ain't workin.

Mos Def is a rapper/actor. He released an album on October 12th. I commented about it because it is different from any other product on the market.
i hope that clears everything up |

How can you not know who Mos Def is?
He's an actor, too, and has been in a few Hollywood movies. "The Italian Job" is one. |

Throw that G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Nelly, etc. garbage away.
Alright. I've thorougly listened to the album and I believe it is a must have. I absolutely love it. The first time I listened to it, I was a little weirded out by the few songs with awkward guitar riffs and the random screaming but I guess I just had to adjust to the different styles that Mos Def is experimenting with in this new album. I totally respect him even more for being innovative with this new album. Even the rock songs grew on me. I especially love the jazzy/bluesy and old-school inspired tracks on the album. Mos Def actually has quite a soothing and pleasant voice. Especially in "The Panties" and "The Beggar". The lyrics and vocals, as always, are on point. Especially on "Sunshine". Listen carefully. Love it: 01 - The Boogie Man Song 04 - Zimzallabim 06 - Blue Black Jack 08 - Sex, Love, & Money 09 - Sunshine** 10 - Close Edge 11 - The Panties 14 - Modern Marvel 17 - The Beggar** ** - ABSOLUTE FAVORITES Leave it: 03 - Ghetto Rock 16 - The Easy Spell My favorite part of the album: "brothers and sisters... fathers and mothers, that love us then leave us, they doubt us, believe us, they stayers, the quitters, the bitches, the niggas... rebel gorillas, the ghetto civilians, ya'll gon' feel it from the the first to the millionth" holy shiznit! just listen to the delivery.  5 words: MOS DEF IS THE TRUTH. |

still not feelin' the album whatsoever...
shit's bootie... too much rock and not enough time spent on the rhymes.... Mos fell off hard from Blackstar and Black on Both Sides.... he's gotta focus more on his rap cuz I ain't feelin' his rock too much.... he can sing though but the rock shit's annoying |

I mean, he made this album so that it would be more mainstream, and so that he could sell more, but I don't like the end product. I wasn't expecting another Train of Thought or Blackstar, but I was hoping it would be similar to Quality. And it's not. |
