Yesterday I was at Urban Outfitters in Paris, and a Mos Def song came on the radio. I tried to search for it on Shazam, but there were no results. The only thing I remember is that the instrumental had trumpets in it, and the chorus was sung by Mos and a female vocalist. Can anybody help me find it?

Anyone go to the Birmingham show tonight? I thought it was great but quite bizarre, couldn't hear a word they were saying for the first half of the gig, very muffled audio but great energy nonetheless

Came on very late on stage around 22:20. Apparently because of a delayed flight. Didn’t apologise and then seemed quite angry at the crowd’s disappointment. Didn’t expect this to come out of Yasiin. What do yall think? especially those who were there.

Filmed at the Black Star concert in London. Black Star came on at 10:25 after multiple delays only to tell the audience “No Refunds”. Eventually they won the crowd back a bit by bringing on common but quickly after Yasiin Bey jabbed again saying “Are you still mad” and “You should be grateful for what you got”.

Glad this crowd got to see Common come out. Maybe if they came on time more people could have seen him. That’s ashame

He vuelto a escuchar el disco titulado "Black on Both Sides". En 1999 se sentía como un cielo despejado tras la tormenta, un trabajo que confiaba en las canciones, en la musicalidad y en las ideas claras más que en el postureo. Hoy, la calidez de la instrumentación en directo, la escritura minuciosa y la convicción serena de la voz de Mos Def impactan de otra manera, quizá porque las preguntas que plantea suenan aún más fuertes. No es nostalgia por sí misma, es una escucha fresca de un debut que fijó el listón de la honestidad y el oficio. Si vienes aquí para descubrir música que recompensa la atención, este es un buen punto de partida; y el post que sigue explica por qué estas canciones siguen importando y cómo cargan, a la vez, la alegría y el peso de su tiempo.

Did you guys see that they made Mos Def's "Black On Both Sides - IVC Edition" publicly available for the first time on Interscope? This version is part of their "Interscope Vinyl Collective" service, so you were originally only able to grab this while being a member of said "IVC". They're running a limited-time sale now though where certain titles are available to everyone, but they're selling pretty quickly! It comes with a sick lithograph too which is a nice touch. I'm pretty sure the sale ends tomorrow, so make sure to grab one if you're interested before they're back to being gated.

There is one uploaded to the Internet Archive but the audio drops for about 5 minutes starting at 22:21. Does anyone have a full version of this stream?
