I'm sitting here listening to the latest Mos Def CD and I'm blown away. It is so refreshing to hear a hip hop album that has substance and is not just about money and cars. I applaud him for this one.

AMG Review of True Magic
Andy Kellman
All Music GuideDumped on a post-Christmas/pre-New Year graveyard release date -- and, oddly, a Friday at that -- True Magic comes in a clear plastic box with no artwork, unless you count the sticker slapped onto the back. The FBI anti-piracy warning is the biggest logo on the package, and beside it, those who would like to see the credits are directed to www.mosdefmusic.com. The week the disc was released, there were no credits to be found on the site; the latest news item, in fact, was posted in early October 2005. Add to this the well-circulated rumors of Mos Def's desire to be extricated from Geffen, and the expectations are bound to be significantly lowered. No matter the circumstances, True Magic is a disappointment. There is just enough quality material ("Dollar Day," "Fake Bonanza," "There Is a Way") to make the average fan not want to wipe it memory, but the flashes of brilliance are all too scarce. It's unthinkable that Mos has nothing left in the tank for hip-hop. Here's hoping that he's saving his strength for the next release. [Nearly two weeks after the album made it to stores, Geffen revealed that it would be re-released a few months later with full artwork and a slightly different track listing.]

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this has already been posted. I've been away for a while and I'm really behind on the Mogosphere, but just in case this hasn't been posted yet, I wanted to pass along some exciting information to Mos Def fans. A little while ago, some of the songs on Mos Def's new album, True Magic, were leaked on to the Internet. Fearing piracy, Geffen Records decided to speed up the...

Track:Fake Bonanza, Napoleon Dynamite
It should be criminal not to know about Mos Def, so i'm just going to assume, for the sake of time, and, of course, criminal charges, that you already do. And in turn you should probably know that the guy's got a new album "True Magic" comming out in a few weeks (the 29th I believe). Now I won't be too hasty to judge this one, but after some very brief searching it doesn't look like the tracks ...

The hip hop remix serves a few different purposes, sometimes its solely for different artists to collaborate with each other, sometimes it's a business decision to extend the life of good song, and on rare occasions it's simply because the artist wasn't happy with the original.

I have a friend, SM. SM thinks Mos Def is overrated and has doesn't make it lyrically. I can't change his opinion, but I can give reasons why I think he's wrong.Dollar Day is the perfect example of a song where Mos Def takes an issue and mixes beautiful, clever lyrics and combines them with razor sharp take on the situation and his unique way of making music. A sexy, raspy voiced story intros t...

Track:Boogie Man
I'd hate to imagine the kind of person I'd be if I didn't post this. "Boogie Man" is apparently an unreleased track from Mos Def's 2006 album, True Magic. You know, Mos Def doesn't really make bad tracks. He's also got a new album due out in June called The Ecstatic. Wiki has some track [...]
