Also to anyone who listens to the podcast
Can we still call him Mos Def? Does he care?
Not the luminary podcast but on Talib's he explained that he really didn't like the way it sounded when a fan called him Mos, because it pigeon holed him into being seen as a single idea (I'm paraphrasing)
He actually got pretty riled up and I imagine he hates it. In fact he seems to hate a lot of questions that have any hint of dehumanising him lol
Also he was pissed Wikipedia has a line saying "Yasiin Bey, more commonly known as Mos Def"
Damn everytime i think ive heard every Yasiin song made since the name change, someone comes in with a jewel like White Drapes lmao
This was panned on release but it's super fire. Ahead of its time the way hip hop mutated since then.

Cmon man the first post of this whole thread
This too
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o32idIFJxMgA lot of Negus album content on this full show. Great show. It’s pretty amazing how easy it is to live perform songs over different beats and sound natural. I often listen to the entire show as if it’s an album itself.
Every listen I love it more and more. I don't know what it is with madlib recently, but his last few projects have had this "floating through the cosmos" feel to them. The final stretch of 4 songs have got to be my favorite finale to an album in a good while, of any genre.
