Any good?

Re: Mos Def's True Magic

So far, I've heard:

Boogie Man
Sun, Moon, Stars
The Undeniable
Murder of a Teenage Life
Thug Is A Drug

VERY nice.

Some are akin to The New Danger, and others are very straight up ala his Black Star and Black on Both Sides style. Production is nice, too. If anything else, Hip Hop is Dead, the complete Food & Liquor, and Tru3 Magic will make 2006 worthwhile for rap, IMO.

Very good album from Mos, while he is a good actor, he is also a muuuuch better rapper. I enjoyed this album from front to back and its easily one of this years better releases if not up there with AZ & Ghostface for album of the year. I also thought BOBS & The New Danger were both great albums (despite TND's lack of focus) and this fits in nicely between the two. I'd recommend a purchase.

Re: Mos Def's True Magic

It is cool but I'm really feeling the new Ghostface album More Fish.

Re: Mos Def's True Magic

Just finished giving it a listen and would say that it's at least "better" than New Danger (although that isn't necessarily saying much). I don't know, I just feel that he could create such a mindblowing album.. and True Magic isn't mindblowing.

You say Nas will flop and Mos is boring, what do you consider good hip hop?

Re: Mos Def's True Magic

This mos album is so bad I can't even let myself spend time telling you guys why. From "The New Danger" to "Tru3 Failure"

He has totally lost it.

Looking at his screen name I'm sure he's a huge fan of Southern Crapola.

enlighten me.

Re: Mos Def's True Magic

enlighten me.

There is no concept to this album for one... so it is completely boring, and then the beats don't suit Mos in my opinion. Not to mention he is nowhere near his Black Star skills or his solo effort on "Black on Both Sides".

He can't even rip up the 9th Wonder track (didn't seem possible to me, but I guess not).

It's just so disappointing, because he used to be one of my all-time faves. It's sad but at this point he should just stick to acting. He was great in 16 Blocks.
