Mos Def Interviewed by Spank Rock!

Artist:

Album:
Having just bought Mos Def's mos' recent album The Ecstatic, my ears and eyes are open for all things Mos Def this week. If you haven't picked it up yet STOP SLEEPIN'! Interview Magazine has Spank Rock interviewing Mos. Here's a snippet to further entice you...
SR: What are the main issues that you wanted to approach with this album?
MD: Life, Love, just observations. It's not a super-defined narrative, its just raw... from a sincere place. Also, I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture. I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this. I feel like I was the only person who was capable of making this type of music in this type of way. I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
For your auditory pleasure, Mos Def on Letterman "Quiet Dog" (check out those timps!)

love it. how's the new record?
Nice teaser. And great idea to have SR interview Mos.
The new record is great. Surpasses the last couple (and I actually liked The New Danger). Not as good as Black on Both sides but definitely goes back to where he started. It's still on sale on Amazon for $3.99. Got it there yesterday.
Super bad. Awesome Fela shout out.
ooh thank you!!!! I love his humbleness and sincerity. It makes a difference and as to why I appreciate his work tremendously. Thank you, brittanybf!
His new album is on FIRE!
