That Mos/J Cole/Jay Electronica/Talib Kweli collabo.
==================================
What about the Mos/Jay Electronica/Curren$y collabo
I think Mos forms a group with whoever’s in the studio on a given night.

Curren$y is kinda dope but those dudes are gonna be running laps around him on every track…it might work but that shit might be painful to listen to at times.

I smoked a blunt before I went to sleep last night and then threw on my entire David Axelrod collection and let that shit play the entire night. Man…I was having crazy dreams, definitely has a different part of my brain working today.

*The genius of Slick Rick*
^^
Word. Couldve been undisputed GOAT. But he had to let his cousin know what time it was.

That Mos Def/Slick Rick track is the joint of the year

Definetly. Too bad the rest of Mos’ album lacked that same potency.

Of the new cats…for me it goes Fashawn, Blu, Reks, Jay Elec, Elzhi…I will check for their tracks and not get dissapointed
^How did he try to change his lane. Ghost is damn near 40, if not that already. Son has rapped about all there is to rap about. Why not rap about relationships. It wasn’t on some old sappy bullshit. But picture all the r&b features that he’s done and the “Never be the same agains” and “Back like that” type tracks on one cohesive album.
That shit is fly. Well done. And its not like he’s gonna lose points for doing that shit. He’ll be back spitting darts like always.

I can always appreciate a DJ Semtex post.
Unlike others he actually does his research and ask core hitting questions.
