This thing called "rhymin", no different from coal minin'

[DonRe]

On any given sunday. Yasiin is my favorite MC. Sometimes you forget he exist but he is a heavy weight in this game. And mich of his music is timeless.

An artist that loves hiphop and makes you appreciate the greatness of the culture.

Ain't got the state but we can lock down a blacker town


I literally cannot listen to this song just once. Replay button looking like

Line is so true ... the prophecy in that joint ...

Rapper are like coal miners ... desperately clinging to a dying industry while dealing with all sorts of physical and mental health issues, refusing to adapt surrounded by the “powers that be” milking them til the last drop giving zero fux.

Meanwhile in 2018, "wah wah wah, I'm a lil baby" is the hottest line

“Wah-wah-wah, b*tch I'm Lil Baby!”

 

[Bugsmoran]

Sounds like something Gza would say

From 99-01 I thought mos def was on a trajectory to be the goat. I had to have everything he touched because all of that shyt was gold.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

And his freestyles were so smooth

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Tell the feds, tell your girl, tell your mother
Conference call you wack crew and tell each other :Soulglo2:
That they just ain't holding me
I'm Mos Def, you hopefully
Mush on before you get bust off like a ovary

 

[Heelish]

GOAT Mos Def song, top 10 hip hop song

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

The art is dying tho, was playing some hip hop for these 20 year old nikkas i used to pick up weed from and they were just like

, nikkas take the aux lead and start playing tekashi69

Even when most cats said he fell off in the mid 2000's, I still thought Yasiin put out great music
Only project of his I don't like is that last album he put out, Dec 99th.
But I thought The New Danger, True Magic and The Ecstatic was all great.
These 2 songs right here are in my top 10 of favorite Mos Def songs

Good to see someone appreciates True Magic. One of the most underrated albums to me. It got panned by fans and critics but it had multiple GREAT tracks. Is it Black On Both Sides? No...but it's a damn good album.
