Amen. This was prime Premier and prime Mos Def. I wish we had gotten more material from both of them.

Yup. I do too, they made magic with Mathematics

 

[UnQuantized]

All time great hip hop track, maybe in my top 10

The crazy thing is that Primo was supposed to produced Canibus' version of "Mathematics" a year prior (nikkanometry) but Canibus didn't like the "devil's pie" beat Primo made so he gave it to D'angelo.

I’m listening to his Dec 99th album right now

Just listening to random albums and songs


yasiin’s trajectory has been a really interesting one


Anybody remember when he was suppose to drop that Black Jack Johnson album on Rawkus?

 

[Awesome Wells]

Perfect track for Mos.

He was definitely one of the best around this time. Listening to his catalogue is always bittersweet because I always think about how I wish we got way more music from dude. He could've really dropped mad classics effortlessly during his peak run, if he wanted to.

All facts and especially the bolded

He gave us like one more glimmer of hope with The Ecstatic but since then it’s just been here and there with just guest features and the Black Star


I wish he’d just release the albums he sitting on

Imagine if he dropped albums like Madlib or Alchemist consistently do

 

[I love Latina women]

That 97’ to 99’ era for him, Monch and Common was nice


One Day It’ll Make Sense
Internal Affairs
Black On Both Sides

Mos had so much personal sh*t going on, with the court battles with his kid's moms, and the child support and taxes nonsense. I think those issues and his chasing after the acting thing while being an acclaimed MC, derailed his whole sh*t.

He literally left the country and denounced his citizenship over child support and taxes, lol. Weird sh*t. So all of that crazy drama took a serious toll on his trajectory. I remember when he dropped "Universal Magnetic" and 'If You Can Huh You Can Hear" independently with Shawn J Period before BOBS, and just thinking to myself back then that he was gonna be the best someday.
