Mos Def Checking in for Fourth Quarter?

Monday, November 27, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Mos DefCritically lauded emcee/actor Mos Def and Geffen Records may not make fans wait another five years for his third LP, as they did after 'Black on Both Sides (1999)' (his sophomore piece 'The New Danger' came in 2004.)

'Tru3 Magic' reportedly drops in December, though the album was already moved from its' original date of September 19 and has received little to no visible promotion. Mos Def AKA Dante Smith has been busy acting, but over the last few months has managed to release "The Undeniable" and "Sun, Moon, & The Stars." Titles such as "There Is A Way" , "The Magical Booty", "Chewy Booty Bounce" and "Boogie Man Theme Music" are reportedly confirmed to appear on 'Tru3 Magic.' Mos Def reportedly lays his varied vocal styles over tracks by The Neptunes, Rich Harrison, 9th Wonder, 88 Keys, Minnesota, Kanye West, and RJD2.

Within the past year Mos Def has appeared in the films '16 Blocks,' 'Talladega Nights,' 'Bobby,' 'Dream Girls (December 25)', and 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party.' He was arrested August 31 at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for performing "Katrina Clap," his scathing critique of the Bush Administration’s unresponsiveness in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, outside without a permit. NYPD officers reportedly were shown the permit by members of the emcee's camp and allowed the show to continue until another group of officers insisted the performance end. Mos Def was arrested and released the following morning.

I agree w/ tron, mos's last album was weak, a real disappointment. His lyrics over the rock n roll beats were subpar. Please mos keep the same formula you had on black on both sides (except for the last min. Or os on rock and roll). Shyt just do a part 2 to every song on that joint (that should be your next mixtape) mos def fan for life. O n e.

No doubt, mos. It's was a few gems on the new danger though (i believe i'm the only one out there that thinks so). I didn't feel some of the beats, but i'm a "lyric first" type of dude. I just hope that he uppercuts these lame artists and an administration that can't be criticized enough!! every artist should have at least 2 songs dissin these clowns on their album.

Yo... I seem to be amongst a small group who actually liked "the new danger"... When i first listened to it i was dissapointed cause i had my ears set for "black on both sides" but that last alblum was strong to me as well... I just would like to see mos wax a lil more political on this joint... Mos there's so much going on... Let us know what's on your mind! looking forward to this though......

I was with that too sho....new danger was a banger off lyrics alone. I dont think mos can even open his mouth without being at least a "little" political. Hes an under rated emcee. On my top 5 favorites. 1. Jay 2. Wayne 3. Mos def 4. Andre 3000/cee lo green (tie) 5. Mos def........g.o.a.t. Numero uno.....krs.

Its better to appear to be dumb, than to speak your mynd and release all doubt."....dont 4get you said it!! it make more sense afer your wack ass top five. Even dummer andre 3000&cee lo green a tie?????????? how the hell that happen!!!!!!you so smart you hurt yourself krs been wack for years he just like me and will slap a bicth ass like you who say he wack he still got you shook after all these years kalliope"mark"4eva weakest top 5 in rap!!!!
Posted by WEST G
^^^kalliope giving that top 5 you definitely need to check out l.o.t.u.s. And ugliness from melaphyre. Being from the n.o. Hes right under your nose and you probably missed him. Ugliness is so far the best hip hop album this year. Mela has also done some songs with mos def check his out and youll see. Check for jay electronica from the n. O. Too we got tons of lyrical cats from new orleans that can rival anyones top five.-----fight---for---us---!!

West g, did/do you take the short bus to school?

Glad to see the excitement for a new mos album, but 'the new danger' wasn't weak at all in my humble opinion. Sometimes i feel like a lot of you folks are afraid to grow with an artist you like. All n*ggas want is 'reaosnable doubt,' 'pieces of a man,' 'black on both sides.' i know hh is minute made these days, but if these cats are really as great as you've said then why not give experimental new sh*t a real shot? that last mos album is F*ck*n dope, pardon my french. To paraphrase tiki barber: please get a F*ck*n clue on how to be a music fan!. Listen to more than hip hop people! the sh*t came from somewhere. And a lot of those roots can be found in other genres of music.

Posted by WEST G
Yo i havnt heard much of the new danger, but ya gotta admit, "close edge" is pretty dope. Cant wait for tru3 magic!
Posted by DjP
Word, i was wondering when this is droppin. Never even heard he got arrested. Its good to know he actually dosen't give a f*ck about the police. Anyone else at the dead prez show in oakland when the cops broke up the party because it was 2:05am. Dead prez bowed down and quit the show after 2 songs. When we got outside there only 2 pigs chillin. 2. They were up there on my list of favorites but get no love anymore. Mos def is sick, that new sh!t will be hot
Posted by shredthagnar
A new mos def album is much needed in hip hop right now. I heard him on the track bin laden with immortal technique and he and i.t sounded dope. People can't be expecting another black on both sides cuz that was a classic the new danger was very average but i think tru magic will be his most political charged album yet.
Posted by Marc
Lol to west g. I didn't know that people were still that F*ck*ng retarted nowadays... Im normally not like this, but you are F*ck*ng stupid
Posted by Jae Good
Jae good.eat a fat hard one you pig in a blanket ass Bia'ch !!!!! you must be kalliope4eva 's mom's new boy toy?? she still my bottom Bia'ch.!!!did i kick you off the short bus just you wanted to eat her cum filled pu$$y.??? yes that was ur mark ass.! dont comment no more you lame ass mark!!!!!!
Posted by WEST G
Mos def is one of the best rappers out there even though his last album wasn't what i expected i will always buy a mos def album the guy has mad skills and if him and talib make another blackstar album who is going sot stop. Moms gets masd props as a rapper and a actor

Whatever, you cats are buggin. The new danger was fire. You all are just afraid of artists showing other facets of their talent. Black on both sides shined thru on the new danger... You cats like like hearing the same type of garbage over and over. I loved that album... Shit never leaves my car. Though it had the feel of a "jam session" and not an album, i still think it was hot. And i actually bought it. Don't call yourself a fan if you're downloading. And this new joint. Fire. Actually buying that too. Big ups mos. Keep reminding people what this sh*t is all about.

Man some of yall on that bling rap . That aint hip hop . "rap is sommin you do hip hop is sommin you live" krs- one. Top 5 mcs exception to canibus (because he should be on a list all alone) 1. Rakim ( its a shame some dont even know who he is he gave birth to nas style. Hes you fovorite mcs favorute mc.)2. Dre 300 ( never ever kicked a wack verse im just now pickin up on sh*t he said his first album ). 3.nas( one of the most creative in the game)4. Jay z (one of the best deliveries in the game). 5. Mos def (nothin is touchin bobs and new danger is dope got more flavor in one finger than mos rappers got in the whole body) honorable mentions redman, eminem, a tribe called quest, de la soul , talib kweli, common, method man just to name a few keep hip hop alive and support real mcs. Peace
