Mos Def's latest album, The Ecstatic, just hit the shelves today. I already made the purchase myself, and highly suggest everyone else does the same – not even just on the strength of supporting Mos Def, but because this is honestly a really good record. I've already spun through it a good three times. If you can't get to the store, amazon and iTunes got you. Above, watch Dante's performance of "Quiet Dog" on the David Letterman show last night. Mos mans the timpanis and lays the verses without missing a beat.
YoOO That performance alone is going to make me buy the album! You got to love the Fela Kuti sample at the beginning of the piece too!
Yes, love it. I’ve listened to the album damn near 17 times today.
Managed to catch Mos performance on Dave. The dopest thing I have seen or heard in a long time. Like said already, you can’t player hate on that Fela sample, its like that.I like it Mos had a chance to say who the sample was from. Much respect to Mos..Viva Fela.Now if you don’t mind I ma go get my NORMAL 2 copies of Mos’ album…Fuck the Financial crisis, what Financial crisis? 1 for the car and 1 for the crib.Already got Mos on my PC.Its all love for REAL MUSIC.God Bless REAL MUSIC.
let’s show love for mighty mos… i’m gonna actually buy the cd am not even try to hustle this off the internet

Yo! That shit was fucking ill!
dope performance.
i love life right now.
long live hip hop.
Joint is tight!! Represented on national television..
DOPE.
Just unseemly. First time I’ve ever seen an MC play an instrument and rap at the same time, also. I’m sure it has happened somewhere else tho.
PEACE,FROM THE BAY!

that is what you call a live hip hop performance
Mos has some serious skills…that was a tight performance.

Awesome performance and an equally awesome album. “Auditorium!?!?!?!” Mos and Slick Rick over a MadLib track…fucking amazing!!!!

That was hot shit for real!
Simmer down, Simmer down, Simmer down now!
Lovin the album and the perfomances! “Pistola” is my iddish!
I picked up the album Tuesday night and have been playing it non-stop. The cd is worth every penny.
Peace and Blessings!
real raw way to flow…
Never thought I would see something as artistic or creative as that on tv. Mos Def bringing quality music to the masses again! So Fresh!
I copped this album straight away. Mos Def is incredible and i want to support everything he does. The album has the sickest lyrics, beats and it incredibly original. It is a classic hip-hop record for sure.
One
YES 5 MIKES ALL THE WAY
Dope performance! just seen him in Oakland last month, Mos never disappoints.
very dope performance!
Been playing the SHIT outtah this LP. Auditorium is crazy stupid good… peace, peace, peace, peace, POWER!
When Slick Rick popped in the joint I was like ohhh dayam.
|Sit and come relax listen to the riddle of the mack | it’s the patch | I’m a solider in the middle Iraq |
So refreshing to have some light within the polluted game… Shine ON!
