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.

modern marvel - crazy ten minute song

[WTFwasIthinking]

but does the beat really make the song!?!?!? c'mon Topheavy, I thought more of you than that.... the lyrics make the song... you should know that, ESPECIALLY as an MC....

someone can take a WACK ASS beat and make a great song outta it if he can somehow make a hook and flow and lyrics that goes perfectly to it.... ummm... listen to J.U (Juice/J.U.Ice/MC Juice)... made a lotta dope songs (even without hott hooks) on bad beats...

ummm.... aside from that... if someone gives you a SAD ASS BEAT, it doesn't make a sad song... ummm... listen to Ni99az by Triangle Offense (Joe Budden, Fabolous, and Paul Cain for those that don't know)... if you listen to the instrumental alone, it sounds like some sensual/sad type shit... but they end up spittin' some punchline oriented type shit... so is it some sad shit? no... it's some punchline type shit....

OH YEAH, and Waiting for the DJ isn't too slow of a beat... only the hook is slow but the beat for the verses are fast................

that's my word
