Mos is crazy to watch live. He'll be up there back to the audience at the deepest point of the stage rhymin'. Then he'll ask his dj to put on the latest De La Soul and starts dancing and rhymin' along. It's like he's reaching that musical genius stage where he can do whatever he wants.

no joke. Not just musically either. His acting is to notch.


I just hope he doesn't leave the music..it took way to long for that last record to come out. A guy like him could drop great work once a year. I'm sure.

I know it's kinda played out but that deal he did on Chapelle. Holy smokes. If you actually listen and pay attention it gets more incredible. he never stops.

Just a cool as flavor he's got. If he keeps going he could end up being one of the greats of all time. I've been into them since the blackstar days. I couldn't believe his first release didn't get more attention. Took a while.

A guy I know made a couple beats for mos. Got paid in green........but it wasn't cash.

No. Last time I was in Soggynoodles' car he was bumping Common. I guess that means Common is no longer underground :rotfl:

It's great to see all those guys get some shine though. I'm not gonna object against them going mainstream (some people do though, go fig), in fact those are the cats I'd like to see go mainstream, and give the regular folk a different view of what real hip-hop is. Mighty Mos either on the big screen or on wax has always been good stuff. Kweli still holdin' it down when he comes out with a record and always has something to say. Hi-Tek, as a producer, is gettin' his shine through Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit. In fact, the dude is providing material for Dr. Dre's upcoming and final album, "Detox."
