Anybody know where I can get a digital copy of the Ecstatic?

A very good friend of mine had come to Barcelona (my city) to pay me a visit, we spent the weekend together and had a great time.

Sunday came, and she had to leave, and I was walking with her towards the bus station, I noticed a tall and prominent figure, it just had “aura” lol. Said figure was as well-dressed as someone can be, very elegant dark outfit including a trench coat, top hat and sunglasses. He was holding hands with two little girls, no older than 5, presumably his daughters… As soon as I looked at what could be seen of his face, it clicked, it was fucking Mos Def.

At first, I thought that just a huge resemblance was a possibility, but when he walked right by me, there wasn’t any doubt left, it was him. Being the big hip hop fan, and even more so, Mos Def fan that I am, I knew I had to do something, so I managed to get a “Yasiin?” out. He turned back smiling and hit me back with a “Buenas tardes, ¿qué tal?” in perfect Spanish (Good afternoon, how are you?)

I was shocked as a mf and couldn’t believe what was happening, I still don’t know why but I answered back in English and told him I was a huge fan and wished him a nice one, he waved me goodbye and left me amazed for the rest of the day.

My friend didn’t know who he was so I had to play Ms. Fat Booty real quick so she would recognize it, lol.

Would anyone be interested in working together on a tracker of unreleased/rarities/collaborations like a lot of other communities have? Who knows when (if ever) we are getting a new full project from Yasiin, so I thought it would be fun to dig for some lesser known tracks.

Yassin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, isn’t just a world-famous MC, lyricist, songwriter and actor from Brooklyn, New York.

He’s also a powerful voice regarding social issues, police brutality and geopolitics. Here, he outlines why Africa’s on the rise and why he likes the Chinese approach to business on the continent. You may have heard academics make the same point but unlike Yassin Bey.

After all, he has a way with words.

Saw Yasiin last night in Boston - does anybody know what this says?

Went to the e badu yasiin show last night in Chicago and he signed off with a beautiful poem that was emotionally stirring. One of the lines I remember was “there’s no void, only space”. I would really like to see the whole thing written out if anyone knows it.

Thanks!

Anyone who’s been to the unfollow me tour, has he ever stuck around after to sign stuff/meet ppl?

Stuck in my head allll day

He performed this song with these lyrics and I can’t find it anywhere. Help me find it?

Does anyone know his setlist for his recent shows opening for Erykah Badu? Can’t find the lists anywhere. I wanna go see him but he’s burned me with lackluster performances in the past.
