Wow, can't believe it's been 13 years. I was in my sophomore year of College. Album aged like fine wine. Matter of fact, it was a Trifecta with "Black Star, Black on Both Sides, Reflection Eternal: Train of Thought". Those 3 LP's are why I will forever have love for Mos Def and Talib. Not to mention the work they did on "Soundbombing II". "Black on Both Sides" musically, Lyrically is just an amazing album. My track on it was the outro, "May-December" even though nobody was rapping, musically it was amazing. I put so many people on to this album. Love it. I wished the soundbombing track "Next Universe" made the album cause it fits the whole style. As well as "Traveling Man" with DJ Honda". Sadly everything after BOBS, Mos musically to me fell off, don't get me wrong, he still dropped heat on his future albums but he hasn't been able to drop an album as complete and solid as his debut:

The Estatic is probably as good as Black On Both Sides. Though BOBS means more to me because it was released when I was in high school.

Def was in his chamber during that time. Good time for Hip-hop until it was poisoned for the years to come...............

Mos fell up all types of shyt when he started fukin wit dat skinny modelin bytch


Case of WMP


edit: yes the bytch u fukk can have a tole on what type of art you produce later

good p*ssy doesnt mean ull turn out better.....u can still get good p*ssy and still dont have that spiritual enlightenment from your women to get up the next day and change for the better but thats another topic


Basically Mos needs him some of that Badu p*ssy............just a quick sample so we can get BOBS2

It was okay.

All his albums after Black On Both Sides hasn't connect with me like that did :yeshrug:

true magic is a different type of dope but i love about it as much as BOBS...the other 2 were ok, with sprinkles of brilliance (casa bey :noah:)
