Audio: Dasha "Umi Says" (Mos Def Cover)
Posted by Shamz on Nov 12, 2009
Nobody will ever make a version of Mos Def's "Umi Says" that will top the original, but I think Dasha made a strong effort with this cover. If you like what you hear, be on the lookout for her upcoming mixtape, Back 2 The Future, set to drop on the 14th at the homie Kevin Nottingham's spot.

At least mixtapes supply new lyrics. WTF does this add? This is some karaoke shit.

I'm not mad at it, but I agree she could have put her own spin on it and her vocals (nicely toned as they are) would have made a stronger impression. I look forward to hearing her originals.

i didnt hear her heart and soul. she might have done better doing it with no beat. its just one of those songs that you cant stand to hear anyone sing but the origional artist. mos was in pain with his. like her voice, but not on this.

I think that if she switched the beat up it would compliment her vocals more. With the original beat, all you really thing is Mos' original.

she has a nice voice and fits this "style" of song but she could have done a lot better by taking this song and making it her own buy TAKING IT AND MAKING IT HER OWN. We heard this beat before and love it and we will never associate her with it. IMO this is just a karaoke verison of a classic

sorry ...: ...
to me ... she didn't get it right ... she didn't capture the feeling of the song or the energy behind the vocals of the song. and there's no creativity. she needed to make this song hers. i've heard, damn near, this same rendition at least 20 times in the past at open mics & stuff. her mechanics are "good" but not special... yet. i hear potential. a strong producer (not beat maker) may be able to mold her a great record. all that said ... i'l still be getting the mixtape!!!

This could have been better if they did their version of the original musical track instead of just sing over the instrumental.
