The Ecstatic, man oh man I’m glad to have discovered this album, I can get down with mellow flows and beats from Mos Def anytime, any day but the main musical attraction has to be his diversity. The only rapper I know who uses instruments from the motherland and raps over them and its sounds tight. What gets me along with his music are the ad-libs he uses, for some reason they have me getting down with his songs because they flow so well with the beat and it’s peaceful and puts you in a good mood. As does his song Auditorium from the album The Ecstatic, this song’s all around sound is crazy and to top it off Slick Rick The Ruler is featuring. Now, the song possesses tranquility and a story from the greatest story teller of our time even more reason to listen. Listening to this song and comparing it to others I believe Auditorium is one of the best. I mean its tough to top the countless head bobbers of Black on Both Sides or collaborating with another BK knight Talib Kweli and forming the forever shining Black Star but Auditorium has many musical elements to the song that come from previous work, elements that made me want to listen to Mos in the first place. Instruments rather than electronics make Mos Def who he is, listening to Mos I feel like his music thrives because it’s different from everything heard and seen on T.V. You won’t hear anything traditional from Mos Def and that’s tight, Mos Def keeps me on my toes with his music, with his music I’m under great anticipation because I’m excited for the next song to hear the sounds and the lyrics that make Mos Def one of the most popular Hip Hop heads in the game. The man is talented another reason why I get down with his music and I’m in awe of all the accomplishments he’s corralled over his life. I hope he continues to keep on making that music of inspiration that keeps people level headed and on a positive track in life.
Lyrics!!!
