Just got MOS DEF's "Black On Both Sides"!

[Lite Sneeze]

Does anyone like him?

Hearing his amazing new single "Umi Says" just pulled me in.

Today I got the album.

That's about my first hip-hop record ever, wonder how it will go.

Apart from "Umi says" I also love "Got", "Know That", "Ms. Fat Booty" etc, still have to explore the cd a bit. Was very surprised by the outro to "Rock n Roll"! :D

Some time ago I saw Mos Def interviewed on "4music", he seemed really nice. He said he'd been in a film lately, but I can't remember the name. Anyone?

Come share!

The film is called "Where's Marlowe?" It was released thru Paramount Classics.

He is a super sweet and funny guy!

i really like the 'black star' album he did with talib kweli.

Maybe I'll check out that Black Star album some time.

On Black On Both Sides Mos does one song with Kweli: Know That, & it's one of the best songs of the album.

Has anyone seen that "Where's Marlowe?" film? (Thanks for the info tweety!) What is it about?

I think Mos Def really has the looks to star in some historical sandals 'n' desert film :D!

it's about a private investigator who is the subject of these two documentary film makers, of whom Mos Def is one.

Sandals and desert...I can see that. :)
