Mos Def - True Magic

[Darko]

Mos Def's new album is coming out...soon. I still don't know an exact date, but it's either late December or early January. It is 'out' on the net though. I really like it. It's much better than the New Danger, although I didn't hate that as most. There's still some songs where he sings like 'There is a Way' and 'Lifetime', but I like them. It's not a life changing album, but it's a pleasant surprise.

I'm getting it now. I hope it is as good as you say cuz Mos has the potential to be sick, he's just not used it for a few years.

We'll see. (y) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VNVVFGIX)

shit, it leaked? if someone could send it my way I'd be much obliged.

Black on Both Sides is classic but I like New Danger as well.

amazon lists December 29th

though I also noticed "Boogie Man" got dropped. that track was tight.

is there any crappy rock stuff on it?

dude, "Zimzaladehfjfhvkjkj vf" or whatever it was called was nice.

Not really. But there are 2 songs where he sings, although they're not rock. I liked them.

His 'Katrina Clap' song is on here but it's called Dollar Day (Surprise, Surprise). It's great.

Did you try clicking the thumbs up in my original post?

you sneaky bastard.

thanks, yo!

[Lex Diamonds]

No probs. (y)

[Mr Films]

seriously, "Boogie Man" is better than most of what's on this. I hate it when artists release songs and then cut them off albums.

[Mr Films]

so I read that this album was put out essentially so Mos could get out of his deal with Geffen.

And, while in Best Buy today I noticed it was on shelves in a cheap ass plastic case with no cover art, back art or booklet of any kind.

so I think that the above theory is correct. no promotion or anything.

its alright, i like 2 or 3 songs, but nothing special

it comes off really lazy for a Mos Def album.

[Nygel]

yea, i've been messin with his two available acapellas (travellin man and beef) and i expected somethin cool like those

[pshabi]

Half way in and I'm enjoying it.

[Mr Films]

if anyone cares here (http://www.giantstep.net/news/308) is that track "Boogie Man"

It was apparently supposed to be the first single but ended up cut entirely.

I like it a lot.

[Extra Cheese]

i wonder if he has a song on skipping out on child support.

[Gareth]

i just heard that liquid swords song...is that one this album?

[funkdoc2005]

I knew no artist in their right mind would release an album this way.
