Mos Def Falls Back: Removes Controversial Song
Thursday, December 9, 2004 By: brooklyniteOne
Mos Def's latest album "The New Danger" has recently become less dangerous than when first released. A song with lyrics that are considered 'controversial' by some has been removed.
The song in question is 'The Rape Over' which features a beat used on the Jay-Z song 'The Take Over' produced by Kanye West released on 'The Blueprint.'
The Rape Over was removed from new printings of "The New Danger" after its initial release in October. Although no official word has been released as to why the song has been removed, Word on the street is that the lyrics stating "quasi-homosexuals" and "some tall Israeli is runnin this rap sh*t" (possibly referring to Lyor Cohen) is behind the removal of the song.
