Mos Def - Jam on It

One for the ages to come.

Hope my titles don't scare people off, especially for great songs done by the Mighty Mos. I heard this song when I got the Ecko Unlimited Lyricist Lounge cd. With lines like" a buck fifty but still swinging like a heavy weight," you have to purchase it. That line right there would have knocked Ali off of his verbal horse. And last but not least the beat. Man, I hate trying to break dance. I can beat box better than most, but breakdancing, ooohhh, that's not good. But I actually tried when I heard that beat. That's how ill it is. Pick this up.

mos def kicking it new old school

this is simultaneously the best and funniest single I've heard in the past 12 months. Hearing Mos battle-rap himself is priceless. It sounds like mos had a lot of fun recording this single and it shows. This is my favorite single of the year and I've been bumping it non-stop since last week. It's good to see someone try to put out something different every once in a while. February 10, 2003

mos def kicks it new old school

This is simultaneously one of the best and one of the funniest singles I've heard all year. Funny in that it brings a smile to your face when you hear Mos battle-rap himself. You really have to hear it fully appreciate it. I think Mos definitely had a lot of fun making this record -- and it shows. My favorite single right now and I just heard it last night.
