Comments on: Mos Def “The Ecstatic” Review http://www.culturebully.com/mos-def-the-ecstatic-review A Minneapolis-Based Music Blog Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:45:41 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: J-Bizzel http://www.culturebully.com/mos-def-the-ecstatic-review#comment-287690 J-Bizzel Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:42:40 +0000 http://www.culturebully.com/?p=25456#comment-287690 I have to say I have all of mos defs albums, I am an italian male and when you listen to mos he talks to problems everyone faces on a day to day basis. I enjoyed new danger, but felt it could be more complete and I think most of us got that feeling. After sampling his new one i have to say if I never heard of this guy before wow, but because of black on both sides and black star you have to just give thanks to mos def for bringing out such a strong album. I enjoyed beging to end there are a few parts that could be cleaned up a little but thanks so much for lyrics that mean something in a time when people just say and do as they are told. Peace and god bless! I have to say I have all of mos defs albums, I am an italian male and when you listen to mos he talks to problems everyone faces on a day to day basis.

"The New Danger" is an amazing album, an absolute artistic masterpiece. the next time you listen to it pay attention to the different "personas" or even "characters" Mos takes on, each one has a different and unique style of music, delivery, and perspective.. you gotta see the forest AND the trees, trust me on this one.. im not trying to nit-pick, but yes i am.. “The New Danger” is an amazing album, an absolute artistic masterpiece. the next time you listen to it pay attention to the different “personas” or even “characters” Mos takes on, each one has a different and unique style of music, delivery, and perspective..

Nonetheless, this review is mostly spot-on. I think I can say for all fans of hip-hop that it feels good having Mos back. I thought “Roses” hit a nice groove at its place on the album.

Thanks. Curiosity sparked, can't wait to check it. I agree about The New Danger and True Magic (what tha?) but... is it just me or were "Sex Love and Money" and "Sunshine" not uniquely dope tracks? A couple of gems amidst a rock experiment gone wrong. Nice review Jon Jon. Thanks. Curiosity sparked, can’t wait to check it.
