Mos Def - Mathematics - One of Greatest conscious knowledge street tracks of all time

Yeah I was wondering what label him and Alchemist are working with to put out their project

He probably dont have a solo deal no more

I think that’s one aspect of it, he got tired if the business and playing the game, with both music and acting

With touring, he can still do what he loves and get laid without having to deal with the business aside from promoters

Honestly I don't think that Mos/Alc shyt ever coming out. The way the album cover and title came out you'd think it was about to drop any moment. Then there were delays, now you don't hear it mentioned. Wouldn't be stunned if Mos wants some type of insane rollout - like selling the album for $200 - instead of just trusting that Alc knows how to do this shyt. One reason I didn't like Ghost taking "SC2" to Mass Appeal is that they never have their shyt together when it comes to physical copies. Alc' label does that shyt VERY well. They know how to target the market, what makes rap fans buy shyt (album covers are very important), and they always hit Europe where the fanbase is more friendly than here for legends/underground shyt. So if Mos just does that the album will do well.

Yeah I don’t think it is either at this point

I get that he wants to make sure he ain’t getting jerked and wants to get paid for his art but the way he goes about getting the music out there is a pain in ass

But I guess he feels the same way when he feels the label jerks him around

It’s clear he’s put up this wall between him and the business and he seems to be trying to find this happy medium for him to be an artist and still get his art out and get paid

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m happy with what he’s given us and if a new album come out cool but I ain’t really anticipating no more
