Mos Def's The New Danger this is THE hip hop album i have been waiting for! i'm not a huge fan of rap (but i do respect it) and i have been trying to get into it for years but never found an album i liked too much. i like The Roots and Eminem but now i have discovered the one.
get this album folks, it's the best thing i have heard all year so far! | |

I think Mos Def, for his talk about the industry, sold us.
This isn't a Mos Def album. This is a Black Jack Johnson album with some Mos Def tracks slapped on. Pretty lazy. I was expecting more after a 5-year hiatus. Doesn't mean it's not a good album, but "Hip-Hop" from Black on Both Sides is better than all of these tracks combined. I'd give it 3 out of 5.

[Edited 11/9/04 13:20pm] This is the most fair and true commentary I've heard so far. I love Mos Def and have a lot of respect for the new album, but for me, I think that this is just another good one for the collection, as opposed to an album that I'll listen to daily. | |

My only complaint is that the album version of the chappelle show rap seems watered down.I want the version from the show.It sounded like just him freestyling and a basic beat with bongos.The syncopation was incredible.He should have included that version. "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |

I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Is it the band he's playing with/his band? What's w/ the disappointment & accusations of "laziness"  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

What's w/ the disappointment & accusations of "laziness" Mos Def's first album Black on Both Sides was released in 1999. Black Jack Johnson was a rock/rap/blues project Mos Def started in 2000. A whole lot of the tracks had been circulating in various live forms. It was discovered that the entire project was indefinitely postponed in late 2002...the label he was on at the time folded (Rawkus/MCA Records) in early 2003. Here we are in 2004 on Geffen and the bulk of this album is full of the sessions of BJJ. Don't get me wrong, the material is good, however, for those who haven't kept up with Mos Def it's almost like waiting 5 years to get rehash. It's kinda like how tracks from Prince's Gold Experience lingered for years before the album was released and once it saw the light of day it wasn't quite as exciting. [Edited 11/21/04 18:40pm] | |

And I was there first ....but I can't be bothered to find it. Great album. Buy, buy, buy. Bye, bye. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |
