Apparently Yasiin Bey showed up 1.5 hours late to show in London, told the fans "you've got other options"

Same here

I always thought this song was about the stripper/video vixen he had married

She looks familiar as a MF!

This was actually the moment I started looking at him funny



Maan, same.

One time is the only time I'm watching that.

I applaud that he made his point. Ppl get tortured in the world. It's real. It's like he made an art piece.

But what if he could have harmed his health?

I feel it could have been done in song.

That might be where I know her from.

Because I saw that pic and was like, "Hang on, wait a minute...". HAHA!!

Yeah :russ:

She looked a little too familiar at first? :pachaha:


I remember when news broke that he got married to her after only knowing her for like 3 days :mjlol:

When she wanted a divorce, she said he refused to sign the divorce.

How many wives or girlfriends does this nikka have? Lmao

There's some indication dude has signs of mental imbalance but I'm not diagnosing him off being tardy,it's the prosecution syndrome he shows from time to time coupled with examples of substance mishandling :hubie:

When did it all fall apart for him?

I know the general consensus is when he dropped The New Danger album but even, when the music lacked or wasn’t what many wanted to hear(True Magic album), he still was in good movies (Something The Lord Made, The Italian Job, Be Kind Rewind, Cadillac Records)

I feel like dudes like him are better when they feel they can fly under the radar.

Once he got that spotlight, he got mad weird.

And in '98-'99, you couldn't tell me Mos wasn't about to go on a legendary run. I thought this dude was gonna be GOAT-level.

I think so too

I think the pressure of trying to do both weighed heavy on him and when it got to be either too much or not fun, he fell back and lost interest or maybe realized that being in the spotlight wasn’t for him

I also think he signed a lot bad deals back in the day like many artists do, because it’s interesting to me how most of his albums aren’t on Spotify and other streaming apps as well.

Ever since he started going by yasiiin bey, he ain’t released one traditional album;

The few albums (Dec 99th, No Fear of Time and Money Christmas EP and Negus) have all been released via bandcamp, luminary (No Fear of Time) except Negus (museum release)


I can only imagine how much money he charged for that Negus album and how much money he got from the music for it. And I heard the songs were old, like from 2014 when he was out in London, recording.

And with that said, that Alchemist album is now just another unreleased album along with the album he recorded with Manny Fresh


I really don’t even care about the new albums anymore.

I’ll just listen to the old albums when I want to hear some music from him.

This right here.

95% of them are frauds. Wild talented and musically-inclined, but mad unprofessional and self-centered. The headwrap "neo-soul" artists were seriously the sh*ttiest people Hip Hop and R&B had. They really don’t give a sh*t about their fans or the people who boosted them to success. Buncha entitled weirdos who never changed and have limited catalogues that they swear will always keep them in motion.

This is why all of them can't get sh*t going for themselves today. The people are sick of them.

I mean this is cap

We have robbers and people who killed nikkas and abusers of women but neo soul artists are the worst?

:mjlol:
