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.

[WTFwasIthinking]

so you are saying A Game, we got the beat, work it out arent club orientated beats?

A Game, yeah, probably... MAYBE We Got the Beat BUT DEFINITELY not Work It Out...

Work It Out WOULD NEVER EVER BE PLAYED IN A CLUB... the shit's not "live" enough... the tempo/drum pattern/instrumental in general, isn't even somethin' to put a bodily rhythm to....

so I'll give you the maybe and that's still 3 outta 12 tracks that's "club orientated" beat-wise.... but the lyrics nor the hook are ANYTHING you'd put into a "club banger".... so the song isn't "club orientated".... listen to ANY "club banger" and it won't have lyrics remotely close to the type of lyrics Kweli put in....

still not "too club orientated".... no songs about "get'cha hands up"... "party 'n drink", "grab ya hoes/b*tches", "shake that ass", blah blah blah

NOT ONE....

oh, and Xquizit, you peep the John Legend yet? I'd like to know what'chu thought 'bout it
