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

[Gizmo_Duck]

One of the biggest fall offs I've seen in Hip Hop yeah.

I think its only a fall off if you were a big mainstream act at one point or trying to be.

Seems like Mos like Talib always knew their lane and stuck to it and just silently stepped back when it came time.

 

[King Poetic]

nikka just tired

Trying to avoid all those baby mamas

 

[ajnapoleon]

Was primed to be one of the GOATs and a movie star. Now he's an afterthought

Mos got to be dealing with something

 

[I love Latina women]

Makes me wonder if Alc paid Mos anything to start the album lol. Because I doubt that shyt ever coming out and Alc is too respectful to admit he got fleeced.

Honestly I'm not sure how Mos even sustains himself. Living abroad can be inexpensive but when you're in London lofts and shyt? Ehh. It's not like he's getting major TV residuals, none of his albums sold enough to put him over the top either. And he rarely tours. So what is he doing for cash, besides the periodic show here or there.

This is exactly what I wonder and want to know

Not happy to say this but quite a few artists are of questionable character and from time to time it actually makes me enjoy their art less

Shame for how talented they are, guess theres a balance in there somewhere

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Man all my fave artists are always on some bullshyt.

One time I was at an outdoor festival talking to my friend.

I look down and Most Def is on stage!

I hadn't noticed. So I was like he's legit - let me pay attention!

He was pacing back and forth, talking. It came off as any random person on stage. In daylight too.

His voice didn't sound like it did on record.

I kept trying to see the good.

Then I remembered his conscious ass impregnated a stripper from Toronto and I was like fukk this dude.

For years I thought it was the worst performance I've ever seen.

I loved Definition and his early work.

But remember that video where he stuck tubes down his throat to protest war torture?

To voluntarily hurt yourself to me is hella bad. Ain't no self love.

Good luck Most Def.

This was actually the moment I started looking at him funny

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Love Mos but he did the same to us a few years ago, and about 2 years ago I went to one of those "Mos Def performs MF Doom" shyts and he showed up drunk, knew some of the lyrics but would randomly break out in song whenever he forgot - it's one of the only times we ever walked out of a concert mid-way through.

I've seen him a few times now and am good, never going again

yall couldnt just vibe? that seems like ne of those where you just go just to see whatsup and mingle. I can't even picture one rapper doin another rapper in concert, pause. Let alone mf doom but I can see how being extra late adds up

 

[I love Latina women]

You can just tell when someone’s hearts not in it. A lot of these older Rawkus and neo soul era artist just tour for a paycheck.

They hit their creatives peaks two decades ago

Not sure why mos quit acting

33:11 mark for the bolded

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

If this was 20 years ago, the stage would've got rushed.

 

[I love Latina women]

I liked The New Danger and even liked his ecstatic album and True Magic

Same here

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

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Lmao fans don’t be serious enough for me. I would have got the crowd to damn near bum rush the stage. You playing with my time, money, and entertainment? Yea nikka would have got euro stepped on.

Saw The Youngbloodz barely make it out of a hole in a wall in Baton Rouge. Wasn't their fault because the promoter didn't have the backend, but the crowd didn't give a fukk. We paid money to see YBz and these nikkas refuse to get on stage. Dont know how they made it to the Van, but they did and got the fukk outta there by the skin of their teeth

 

[Pazzy]

There's footage

 

[Pazzy]

or he just cant fukking act. you ever see the hitchhikers guide movie? i dont think he even knew it was a book

just because acting is lying and rappers are frauds doesnt mean rappers can just jump into acting

he hasnt even recorded for an album in over 10 years. when did his last album come out? six years ago?

You do know that he was a child actor before he was rapping right? Not the other way around. Look it up.

 

[Elim Garak]

I had no idea this nikka was this terrible of a person lol.
