Damn I’ve been neglecting this blog. At least I have a good excuse for not posting over the last week or so. I just got back from a much needed vacation in Rio. So now I’m all refreshed and ready to blog my ass off. 🙂
And speaking of it having been a long time, I know you’ve all picked up that new Mos Def CD — The New Danger. I’m reserving judgment until I’ve listened to it for about a week. I’m good for not liking CDs on first listen only to love them later. ‘Black on Both Sides’ was a great example of that. I wasn’t feeling it at all when I first got it. Then after a few listens it was one of my favorites of all time. I will say that my favorite track right now by far is ‘The Rape Over’. Mos nailed what’s going on in the rap industry on that song. And to do it in the style of Jay-Z’s ‘Take Over‘… nice, real nice.
P.S. I forgot to mention that Mos will be hosting Sucker Free Sunday on Halloween day. From the events section of his site:
MTV2’s Sucker Free Sunday
10/31/2004 – (TV Show)
Mos Def hosts Sucker Free Sunday which includes his own half hour concert special.
Don’t sleep!
glad you’re back. i won’t even TOUCH Mos Def until i’m done with De La Soul and Talib. i know, i’m all tapped out… LOL
Welcome back! I was starting to wonder about where you were. I have GTD on my list, but I think after your review, I might have to just buy it ahead of schedule.
