New Danger Mos Def Zip

When it takes you five years to follow up a debut of near-landmark stature, you're setting yourself up for failure. Mos Def's second solo album is not disastrous, but it's a sprawling, overambitious mess. A handful of songs from this 75-minute affair feature Black Jack Johnson, the rock band Mos set up with some very respected musicians: bassist Doug Wimbish (Sugar Hill house band, Living Colour), drummer Will Calhoun (Living Colour), guitarist Dr. Know (Bad Brains), and keyboardist Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Funkadelic). While that's a deadly cast of support, those guests seem to have gone into this inspired more by the negligible rap-meets-rock Judgment Night soundtrack than their own past work. The grooves and riffs are basic (of the dull variety), and the vocals rarely surpass echo-heavy shouts of 'Let's go!'

'Come with it!' And 'F*ck you, pay me!' As poor as those songs are, the lowest point of the album is 'The Rape Over,' a rewrite of Jay-Z's 'The Takeover' that jacks Kanye West's beat from same that, for all its sharp rage, is ruined by the line 'Quasi-homosexuals is running this rap sh*t' (it's not a boast).

Unsurprisingly, the hottest moments tend to come when Mos sticks to what he does best. One slight exception to this is 'Modern Marvel,' a nine-minute suite smeared with a series of Marvin Gaye samples. Mos sings in whispers (he makes Pharrell sound like Luther, but he has the required spirit), momentum floats in as easy as a light breeze, and then the MC shifts into goosepimple-raising mode.

Throughout the whole thing, Mos Def's conviction is apparent. Even with that in his favor, in addition to considering the extra-genre dabblings on Black on Both Sides, The New Danger sounds confused. Tom clancy s the division crafting station. It should've taken Mos at least three more records for him to reach this state of restless aimlessness. What grates most is that Q-Tip's Kamaal the Abstract, the best out of the rash of horizon-broadening records from rap artists the past few years, remains unreleased. ~ Andy Kellman.

Talib Kweli 1999 The late musician played the keys on the album's opening song, 'Astronomy,' which interprets the word 'black' in a positive way, and contains similes such as 'Black, like my baby girl's hair'. The next song, and first single, ', is a stern response to hip hop's fascination with death, and a dedication to slain emcees. As the chorus goes, 'One two three/ and /We came to rock it on to the tip top/Best alliance in hip hop, Y-O/I said, one two three/It's kinda dangerous to be a MC/They shot 2Pac and Biggie/Too much violence in hip hop, Y-O'. The chorus is also a play on ' anti-gun song ', as well as 'Remix For P Is Free' from their album.
