Mos Def's worst CD
He named it True Magic, which seems to be quite fitting. Mos's last album magically appeared in stores with zero promotion and not even a beat on the radio, then it will magically disappear from shelves as Geffen Records just recalled it.
I've heard of a bad idea, a poor drop date but never an album so bad that they take it back! You recall products that explode or maim people. I mean, many great albums burn slow and then get a re-release with remixes or one special track when it picks up popularity in a year or so. Not True Magic! I'm actually listening to it right now..I don't know what I think yet. Nothing's been great, but that's how his last joint The New Danger hit me too. Billboard, New York Times (like they know shit) and others gave this album a bad review, saying it was rushed and unfinshed. I'll be the judge of that.
The first thing I notice is that he's actually rapping. I think that's a step in the right direction for Mos. He still sounds sexy! But like The New Danger, this would have to grow on you.
Anyone else got a copy?
