A few days ago I picked up the Mos Def compilation "We Are Hip Hop * Me * You * Everybody".
I gotta say, Im sure this 4 disc collective will be in both my cd changer, ride and computer getting played over and over for a while to come. I can't recall ever hearing such a well put together "greatest hits" almost, if not that already.
- No song from either Mos album (Black On Both Sides & The New Danger) are on any of the 4 discs.
-The music spans from all area's of Mos Def's career.
-Made of unreleased, remixed, collaborated or guest featured material.
-Features such icons like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, Talib Kweli, Pete Rock, Beatnuts and more.
I'm gonna say it, this record is classic. Be on the look out for a sample.
