Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey - L’Elephant Effervescent (March 14, 2012) (by billtyreerules)
Must listen. Can not wait for his new album and for the new BlackStar album. Straight BANGARS!
Legendary Hip Hop documentary. Will see the night it premiers. wow speechless, inspirational.
A short word that Okayplayer had to say about it:
Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap is a new documentary that takes viewers inside the heart and soul of hip-hop – the growth, the music, the culture and most importantly the people. Fresh off its premiere at the Sundance film festival (where it was praised as a must-see) the film takes a truly honest approach to exploring the journey of the music, once dismissed as street music, right up to the world-conquering present, wherein rap has rightfully taken its place as legitimate genre (with sub-genres, even) and a cultural force to be reckoned with. Narrated and directed by original gangster Ice-T, who takes a personal approach to highlighting the high and lows via interviews with the likes of Yasiin, Snoop, Kanye, Em, Nas and a whole grip of other legendary MCs. Looks like this just might be one of the better documentaries on the subject we’re ever likely to get, so do check it out (above).

This mix needs to happen more often.

” While the crooner refers to the tune as a “strip club classic,” Diplo calls it “some next level electrosoul” and stated the he’s “pretty sure in 9 months there is gonna be a lot of new babies that this song is responsible for.” Understatement? You be the judge.”
