Title: Mos Def - The New Danger (poll)
Post by: Kill on October 12, 2004, 03:54:08 PM: well, i just had to cop this shit today right when it came out. I was actually feelin most of the album and i like the blues and rock influence on some tracks...i'm glad mos brings some creativity to the game and IMO this is not only creative but overall dope music. Not all tracks are equally good, but the majority of them are tight. anyways, this is my opinion and i guess since this album is not very conventional not everybody will feel the same. so drop your opinions

oh yeah, New Danger >> Beautiful Struggle

peace

Agree wit him bringin something new though. Good to see a rap album with some originality.

but I think I'm being nice. This album is a mess, I don't know what he was thinking when he put it together.

beautiful struggle tbh bored me a bit. It's not bad at any point, but there's a lot of stuff that is just too...average, Talib rips it on most tracks, but most songs just didn't seem to be too inspired, a lot of the production is just ok, no surprises, nothing that stands out..."Back Up Offa Me" is a good example, i find the production boring, the rapping is good, but i rather listen to talib's first, the blackstar or the reflection eternal to hear him...i admit it's pretty difficult to analyze why, but i never really feel the urge to listen to that record....

now why is New Danger horrible?
