Mos Def is a wanted man. Las Vegas Police recently issued a warrant for the rapper/actor’s arrest regarding an alleged fight with a photographer this past August.

The photographer, Volker Correll, contends that a scuffle ensued when Mos ripped a camera from his neck. Per the Vegas Police Department, the Brooklynite will face robbery and destruction of property charges when turning himself in. The warrant was reportedly issued nearly a week ago (11/04), but Mos has yet to surrender to the authorities. Police expect Mos to turn himself in by week’s end.

The confrontation allegedly occurred at the Men’s Apparel And Garment Industry Convention. Corell claims he suffered a cut on his left hand during the scuffle and that two security guards at the convention had to take his camera back from Mos. According to court documents, the camera was damaged and will require repairs of $178

NO WAY. P fell off after hell on earth and he reemerged for HNIC, other than that dude spit blanks for his career.

^^
No-sign. P was still crushing shit on Murda Musik. And since HNIC dropped right after, that’s four projects in a row where he went in. His prime was a long time ago, but it lasted longer than you’re implying.

How do you compare Prodigy whose hayday has long passed him (although respect must be given to HNIC2 which was alright) to a top 5 goat in nas.

Zo! and Phonte’s 80′s cover album a couple of months ago. but mostly every album I want, I get in the mail from the labels anyway, alot of the time in doubles. so should I then turn around and buy a third copy? that wouldn’t make dollars or sense. but just because somebody doesn’t buy a physical CD, that doesn’t mean you’re not supporting the artists. the last piece of music I paid for was Halfway House.

I feel you (ll), I was the same way with my grandfather. I know there’s a feeling that you have an obligation to be there regardless, but do you really? How much of that is actual feeling, and how much is social norm? But all that aside, sorry to here about your loss. Even if you didn’t know her, that’s still blood.

in no particular order

1. UGK (the entire group)
2. wyclef (the carnival is hip hop gold)
3. busta
4. ma$e
5. jay-z
6. nasir
7. outkast

^^
I’ll give you Jay, Nas, and Kast. But I don’t understand Mase being on the list at all. And yeah, Clef was behind two classics, but he wasnt spitting bars like P. Busta’s a close one, but I’d say P from 95-2000>Busta from 95-2000. And in all honestly, I’m not familar enough with UGK’s earlier work to make a determination. I could see an argument for Redman (not sure how you missed him).

I’d like to add Pharoahe Monch(2 classics), GZA, Ghost and Rae. Big L too.

****I still play CDs in the car, out of habit, because sometimes it’s easier to just stick in a CD, than to scroll thru a playlist- all of my CDs eventually get copied to the ipod, though….I’mma have to get that Phonte/Zo jawn, though- that “Take on Me” remake was on point, lol…quiet as it’s kept, Phonte’s been pretty busy, between that 80s jawn and the new Foreign Exchange- I have yet to listen to the new Pooh mixtape- I d/l’d it, though…

^Yo, in summer of 2005 i interned in DC @ The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation….I used to go to Helix for happy hours. Do they still give the free champagne at happy hour?

I met Herschel Walker and Bill Russell there once upon a time.

wild shit goes on in the helix. . . . that’s where a lot of the celebrities stay, so the groupies are always in full effect

The Helix is that pif son! I went when it first opened and got turned out by the ambience….i was used to greasin off joints in Comfort Suites or Ho Jo’s….helix made me feel classy….i think I actually took a bath in that bitch *pause*

i havent listened to it yet, but how would you compare POT80s against HNIC@ and ROTM?

^^
Not as dope as ROTM but more cohesive than HNIC2. A It’s heavy on Un Pacino and Twinz features, so if you don’t like them niggas, you def won’t like the album. I fuck with all three records tho.

>>I went there randomly some afternoon and Reebok was there trying to persuade your favorite Senator to give more funding to school physical fitness programs.

They had a bunch of ex athletes there politicing with the legislators.

I dont know if it was private, but the kid made his way in there. The next thing I know Big Bill Russell is next to me in the food line. I also managed to come across Herschel by the bar.

Class acts.

P’s rhymes on Hell On Earth>L’s rhymes on Lifestyles…

*straight face*

co-signs this 120%

Apostle`s Warning would body almost anything made in that era.Unfortunately P shot his last load in that song(nunca).Free Agents Mixtape was decent though.

P said something to the effect of “like sunlight I focus and burn blah bla blah”Fast forward a couple of years I hear Kweli say the same metaphor on the HiTeknology album. P was ahead of his time just like the pre-gangsta G RAP.G rap used to say shit like “when I die scientists will preserve my brain-donate it to science to answer the unexplained” DAMN!!!! what happened to THAT lyrical shit G rap used to spit??

*turns up men at work*
*still know the lyrics by heart*

lyricism>fabricated or actual street cred

A tribe called quest said: Last album i bought was Q-Tip’s album, but that was out of respect, i already had the mp3s the week before.
—————————————————————————–
I just copped that Q-Tip and it was the first cd I’ve bought in 4 years, for the exact same reason. Tip is the shit and if you won’t pay for his album after all he’s contributed to the game, then you’re an asshole. If the shit is good, try to buy it.

It’s not Joao Gilberto, it’s Gilberto Gil, Mos. Damn, at least he got some Tim Maia.
