I'm a huge fan of Mos Def but he lost points for this. This would have been a fun and entertaining and good for a genre in dire need of some authenticity and just good old fashioned rhyming.

black love, unity, and music
lol. mos is on some weird shyt nowadays, but fukk it. aint shyt in the world that will make me lose respect for a man who gave us black on both sides and blackstarr. those kill anything lupe has ever done.
:ehh:

True, but seeing Mos's latest antics, I'm fairly certain Kweli was the sensible dude in the group, although he has shown bytch tendencies in the past..

Blackstar is still my favorite album of all time. Listening to that album was a transformative moment in my life. Truly opened my brain up to the conscious movement and amazing music.

LOL bruh its not that serious. at the end of the day who cares, he said what he said as a personal opinion that was leaked without his permission. if he was serious he would of made a campaign out if it. the nikka just said HE DONT GIVE A fukk ABOUT BATTLING nikkaS TO ENTERTAIN YALL and be in this circus shyt we call the rap game. why would yall wanna see somebody battle that don't got they heart into it?
Why issue a challenge if your heart aint into it?

"b-b-b-but he didnt want it released"

Why let someone record you in the first place?


Having classic albums doesn't excuse you from fukk nikka activity breh

Dumb move by Mos to back out. Not only would it have been great promotion for both of them, but backing down after he issued the challenge hurts his reputation worse than it would've had he lost the battle. He definitely loses points for this.

how does this nikka earn a living?

did he make that much money off rap and movies??? :dahell:

cuz it seems like he literally DOES NOTHING
he probably doesnt need that much money.
Living in a non western country is hella cheap...so he probably does a show here and there in Europe, and then goes back to where ever he lives.

edit:
This is the second time this has happened? :dwillhuh:

That's weak as fukk, I mean it sucks someone recorded him with his permission. But its not like he didn’t say it. I guess I'm just disappointed because the concept sounded dope....

But let's be real, the only people who have participated would have been like the same dudes who made a response to "Control" even though Kendrick didn't mention their name :ld:
Stop bein a fakket, c00ndrick mentioned EVERYONE in the weak ass control verse, "...the rest of yall new nikkaz, just new nikkaz... dont get involved"

to this day Duckworth still duckin nikkaz... the gopher is a cowardly industry plant. And if we being real when control dropped a bunch of non hip hop fukkers took to social media to comment including Phil Jackson, but all of a sudden when its 6 God they supporting and shyttin on Tweet Millz then its some sinister illuminati plan? :dead: you nikkaz are disgusting :scust:
