Ok I’m glad it’s not just me. I thought this came out off my radar in some sneaky way. So it didn’t come out, got it. I’m surprised no one touched on why when either of them get interviewed.
Twenty years ago I would've smacked somebody (with my backpack) if they said mos def was doing an album with mannie fresh. Now I'm kinda eager 2 hear it. Weird how musical tastes change over time.
Two of my favorites in a seemingly unlikely pairing. I would have considered old Cash Money and old Rawkus as completely different genres who didn’t share a fan, base. I mean, I had been a fan of both. I seriously just found out about this glancing over Wikipedia 🤣
Amen. And I am usually one to prefer soul samples, but if the lyrics maintain its depth - which I'm sure they will with Mos, and certainly have with DOOM, then it's alllll goooood.
Finally! Real Lyrics over dope beats! Mannie & Bey are gonna blow minds this Summer! I can't wait to BUY this album! Shit... Somebody gotta pay this guy!
What are you talking about? They're quality. Plus, a sign of a truly great rapper is spitting over different kinds of instrumentals. Mos has worked with tons of great producers like Premo to Madlib. It's good to see him working with Mannie and finally put out another full-length piece.
Yooo that’s crazy Dee-1 destined for this music bruh I ain’t even know he knew Mannie Fresh personally and he in the studio with Mos Def !!!! 🗣️🕊️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨💨💨🩸🩸🩸🩸🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Man! spittin that HOT FIRE. R.I.P. HIP HOP? Were we watching the same video. Collaboration Helps Maintain the Nation. Hip Hop Rulesthe World and it ain't going nowhere anytime soon.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the Mannie X Bey project but it was a Ferrari Sheppard X Bey project. I've got to say as a big time Mos fan, the project between Ferrari and Yasiin was not that good at all, pretty mediocre but i'll give it a 5/10. However, the Mannie X Bey project is coming this year, and it's called: "As Promised". It's most likely coming this year. Yasiin also has a solo album which is gonna be called: Negus in Natural Person. The recent Yasiin Project released last month, and it's on Tidal and no where else :/
mashallah, Yasiin Bey (previously known as Mos Def) is a revert to Islam.I'm happy that he is happy and found peace as well a started rapping again can't wait for his new mixtape/album inshallah.
OMFGOD is probably the most fitting name ever.,,because that is exactly what I said watching this. Oh my mother fucking God. This could end up being some of the the illest shit EVER,
Not really that weird of a pairing to me. Mannie Fresh's primary sonic influence is Kurt's Mantronik, the King of the Beats, famous for making music for the b-boys and poppers.Mannie Fresh gave that old school electro funk 808 and SP sound the N.O bounce treatment. Yasiin aka Mos Def is the Universal Magnetic B-Boy. At their core, they both represent the essence of Hip-Hop.
This will be magnificent, for those talking about "trap beats" get out of your box. Did RUN DMC suck because they rapped over guitar rifts. And remember when ATCQ dropped very few were on the Jazz beats and samples. Mannie is a legend in his own right he's always looking for a new sound and working on new beats. He made CM not Lil' Wayne.
