Mistah Rapsey is my name..
staying underground is the experience..
I’ve been traveling since my youth searching for experiences of truth. An old soul back again to discover what I left uncovered. I love to love and live to laugh. Enrolled in a school called Knowledge of Self. Paying attention is my drug. Learning to live Life like music and flow with the rhythm, careful not to miss a beat. A renaissance man, Life is my art project. An habitual nomad, I roam to evolve. Music and cannabis are my constant companions. Interested in people, i’m always searching for my tribe. The beauty of the wilderness is the closest i’ve come to experiencing Truth.
music, graffiti, vinyl, treeplanting, & mixtapes..
Love is an Action. Love is the Answer. Love is the Movement.
I wish i was there! Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Hi-Tek all in the same building, that means Black Star and Reflection Eternal! Why don’t i live in New York?!! WHY!!!!
My Hip-Hop Must Haves
Today I have been seeing lots of ‘best rappers alive’ lists and to be honest they have all been weak, in my eyes it is straight up disrespectful and ignorant to put the likes of Nas on the same list as Drake or lil Wayne. I understand that people have personal preferences, and i can’t hate on that but if you don’t know anything about hip-hop culture then put the word ‘Favorite’ instead of ‘Best’.
Anyway here goes a proper list for the tumblr hip-hop community.
This list could go on and on, because there are more amazing lyricists in the game than i have time to listen to.
Let me know what you think about the list and who am i forgetting?
BlakRoc: Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo) Ft. Mos Def and Jim Jones
Love this song and this video. Is it just me or do great artists like Mos Def always bring the best out of more average artists like Jim Jones?
Notorious B.I.G.- What’s Beef (March 9th Remix) f. Mos Def
I just wrote a huge thing on beef in hip-hop and then firefox crashed on me, erasing it all. FUCK! I’m gonna write it up again… but later. Enjoy this song for now.
Stop the violence in Hip-Hop!
R.I.P. Christopher Wallace
..we are alive in amazing times
delicate hearts, diabolical minds
revelations, hatred, love and war.
and more and more and more and more
and more of less than ever before
it’s just too much more for your mind to absorb
It’s scary like hell, but there’s no doubt
we can’t be alive in no time but… NOW!!!
-Mos Def
Mos Def- Workers Comp.
After the instant classic Auditorium with Slick Rick, this is my favorite song on the album. Actually it’s too hard to choose because the whole album is amazing. Ecstatic is a fucking masterpiece..
Like any list I make, I am sure that I am forgetting people. Also this list is my personal favorites and is not necessarily based on the range or ability of the voice. Now that I have that disclaimer out of the way, let me say I think it is a pretty dope list. Who are your ten?
The Mighty Mos Def blended with some classic Dub. I have seen the amazing Dub Kweli blend floating around tumblr, and thought that people should bump this amazing blend tape as well..
Mos Dub- Johnny Too Beef
This blend is golden.. The Mos Dub and Dub Kweli blend tapes have been in constant rotation in the past week.
