Mos Def & Co

14.12.02

I don't know if I am just way out of the American loop or what, but finding good new American stuff is a bit of a task for me. Especially hip hop. I get a lot of American crap over here, but, it's just that: crap. So I downloaded this song by Common (who oddly enough does not appear to have his own site), Mos Def (who might just possibly be, just maybe, the winner of the cutie rapper of the year), and The Roots (who just released a new album). Collaborative efforts are usually pretty interesting, even if the distinctive style of some rappers manages to get suffocated at times. This song manages to blend together the three styles without losing the personal edge in each group's/rapper's segment.
