THE OFFICIAL MOS DEF ALBUM POST, THE NEW DANGER Options

[*basick*]

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.

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:

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.
