Mos Def returns from long strange trip with excitingly coherent new album At this point, you could be forgiven for knowing Mos Def as an actor rather than a musician. His name was synonymous with the late '90s’ resurgence of politically pugnacious hip-hop, but after his equally era-defining label, Rawkus Records, was absorbed into Interscope, Mos went mainstream as a thespian and plumbed new depths of self-indulgent awfulness as a musician...

Following the release of 1999’s Black On Both Sides, Mos Def fell prey to Ice Cube syndrome: The more money his movies made, the less interested he became in creating great music. 2004’s The New Danger was a paranoid, self-indulgent monster that seemed to betray the voluminous promise of Black Star and his solo debut, while 2006’s True Magic barely got a release. The expectations greeting each new album have gone from sky-high to ground-level...

MOS DEF The Ecstatic Downtown ½ It may seem like ages ago, but Mos Def was once known for his music. As one of the faces of the now-defunct Rawkus records, Mos helped bring underground, socially conscience hip-hop to the spotlight at the peak of mainstream excessiveness and flashiness. But while he focused on his acting career in the 2000s, the music suffered with two sloppy, meandering albums that left much to be desired (including album...

On Friday, we thought that Mos Def's experiment with selling an album via a t-shirt (whereby if you bought the t-shirt, you got to download the album) was a pretty cool idea. What seemed even cooler was the claim that Nielsen Soundscan would count each t-shirt sale as an album sale. However, Soundscan has come out claiming this simply is not true: "Nielsen Soundscan knows nothing about this and without knowing more, we have no intention of...

The album is definitely fire. That's a compliment. Short songs, no annoying choruses. Between this and the DOOM album, that's two nice gems in real MC'ing, back in the day style. And the Clipse should be releasing their new album eventually, which is also sort of exciting. As far as the shirt goes, not sure about the tracklist/download code idea...the front cover image is cool though. ChipSuey
