the new danger: the re-issue

for thos who didn't know...mos def's the new danger will be reissued. so if you don't have the original copy you may be too late.

it would appear that geffen mos's label had a huge problem with one of the new danger's tracks "the rape over." strong song one of which he's been performing for more that 3 years with black jack johnson. it talks or points out record companies raping artists, watering down conepts of truth...mos licks shots at the record executive.."quasi-homosexuals running this shit"...lol mos you a fool man!

actually skimming okayplayer i learned of a recent show in cali "an evening with mos def". where mos actually took the stage but he talked only about his life and answered questions. no music. no rapping. just dialouge. gotta love that! well i'm sure most wanted to hear the songs they all love...personally i would've enjoyed the verbage a lot more. and excerpt of what happened:

MOS DEF SAID....

he will not be in the rap game for too much longer....there are more things that he wants to do with his life....he still likes the music....but his life is different now....

his reason for doing the NEW DANGER....with a different vibe compared to his Black on Both Sides is because he is older and at a different stage of his life.......when he did black on both sides..he was 23 years old...he was younger.....and that is where he was at......as he put it.....from day one....his music was "fuck you.....if you dont like it.....imma do me"



can't beat that....besides there comes a time when we all will have to grow up sooner or later. big up mos.

I'm always popping in here to see what's up. I just got Mos' new album. I'm really enjoying it. I got a chance to meet him about a year ago at the Supper Club while he was hosting Def Poetry. He really appealed to me then and though I was already a fan of his, my love for him solidified. I would have loved to be in a forum in which I could learn about who he really is.
