"Thieves in the night" still one of the best songs ever written in ANY genre.
I can still remember the haze and pandemonium of that release. Came at a time when I was out there in them streets. That very day my homies Caleb, and Stephen and I outran po-po not really knowing that would be our fate that day.
My number 1 favorite album, not hip hop, but album of all time is Black On Both Sides
Wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of its time.
Thats right! You already know. Best of all time
Dope album which i still have the CD i bought since July 2000 with few scratches on it but i like the blackstar album better.
😎
It was a classic no doubt. Not sure about Best ever
"I ain't no perfect man I'm tryna do the best that I can with what it is I have. (Mos Def)" Truth! #SpiritualMC #Kew
boom
When ever I'm having a bad day or feeling down, I listen to that song. It lifts me up!
As much as the youth try to dismiss older ppl at times age has it's advantages. Time is the master and experience teaches wisdom. If it ain't growing, it's dead or dying... Humans included. Continue to evolve brethren, love to witness it.
The only advantage youth is physical energy. That is..literally, it.
@@marcelmarshall4240 that advantage is very big and should not be diminished. The youth have been the vanguard in most revolution’s
@@farewelliquit4575 Lol...the youth FOUGHT the wars under the agenda..and financing of the olders.
@@farewelliquit4575 *elders.
@@marcelmarshall4240 can you explain because I don’t understand what you are saying
Black on Both Sides was a life changing album 🙌🏿❤️❤️❤️
"I find it's distressin', there's never no in-between. We either niggas or kings, we either bitches or queens." --Black Star "Thieves in the Night"
OG is in balance mode; the Yin is Yasiin and the Yang is Mos Def! He achieved mastery of self!
Well said! ✊🏿
I love this comment!
We need more pro black rappers
Listen to Noname
We need more skilled and artistic Emcees.
speak 4 yaself)
Listen to Mick Jenkins' "Pieces Of A Man" & "The Circus" if you haven't. Listen to Destiny Roberts "Black AF" & "What's Up", Lewiee Blaze's "Freedom Fighter", Juice Lord's "6/6: The Forever EP" & "Spread Luv Tape". Wale, Jon Connor, Nick Grant... there's so many, and in different sub genres, that are pro black.
@@jalennelson6008 Word
Both of y'all are the 2 Blackest Pro BLACK Rappers to this date❗😂👌👍❤👊🏼💯
Dead Prez, The Roots and Black Star for me. In that order.
Always been and still am a huge fan of Talib and Mos’ music. It warms my heart to see that their relationship is strong today. The Black Star and their debut solo albums are in a class by themselves when you look back at that era.
I miss da old new York. Where u had book sellers. Selling very powerful books on the streets
Seeing Yasiin (Mos Def at the time) perform a free show at Fort Greene Park in 2011, 2 blocks away from my house at the time, was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The energy that day was unbelievable. Much love!
How did Mos think of that line "draped in metal and fiber optics" way back in 1998 👏🏿
Wish I can go back to that time damn man.
It was the zeitgeist. In 1998, we were just two years away from the mythological year 2000. That year signified the future. We had a lot of optimism for what the future could become. Lots of emcees were spitting advanced lyrical content around that time. It was THE culture.
@@djstarsign indeed
We need yasiin bey to be back on Movies. The man's acting skills is incredible. yasiin bey is on the same frequency as Lauryn Hill L Boogie
No doubt
His performance in ‘The Woodsman’ was amazing. Slept on movie because of the subject matter but powerful nonetheless.
@@Ginga He crashed them all the roles. Even Life of Crime. He was better than all of them.
PREACH my brother. Love from 🇧🇷
So much knowledge and wisdom in this clip.
Had to rewatch it a few times to let the information digest and make sense.
Amazing conversation!
Great interview. Hope I could watch the full interview. But these clips are great. Thank you
So happy to see two of my favourite MCs chopping it up. Black Star keep shining!!
It's nice to see Yasiin speaking because he's been so elusive for the past 10 or so years.
That's what was/is so unique about New York. Being exposed to all that knowledge at an early age.
Who remembers Mos as the sidekick on Cosby mysteries?
i remember him in taldega nights that’s for sure
Such power to see you two dropping gems together again. This music is senseless garbage nowadays on the radio. I can't stomach it anymore at all.
BROTHER NEED TO SEE MORE OF YOU REALNESS BLESSEDUP
Great clip, I really see Yasiin's growth
In the 90's we had Soul 2 Soul, De La Soul, Snap, Queen Latifah now the only music our people are doing is Drugs, Guns, and Prostitution. I'm very ashamed 😒😑👹🤛
Who thumbs upped this?
He said soul to soul and snap.
Smh then dissed today's music.
I'm old af, but you sound like our elders when rap was bubbling in the 80s 90s.
Brilliant mind is Yasiin Bey.
This is excellent product placement for the Crate V50 amp lol, thats a great amp btw. Good upload
1998 Black Star album is a classic, along with many others in that epic year of Hip-Hop
Yasiin Bey / Mos Def has always been one of the smartest and coolest dudes around
Umi says always spoke to me spiritually
Dropping gems Listen Up people. 💯💯💯💯💯👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Mos Def...Yasiin Bey... Much Respect to him always! My ♐️Brother. Wise. Creative. Hilarious. Poet extraordinaire ! I can not say enough of this Spirit Called Yasiin Bey!💜🧘🏽♀️🔥🦉

Boogie Man! Yasiin the Bey. Bright light from a distant Star 🌞✨
I could scream !!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy you finally got the mighty Mos Def!!!!!!
👍🏽 from URUGUAY 🇺🇾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, I will say it.
Thank you.
4real.
I never noticed he had black, black, black......I looked past that and just enjoyed the music.
you are black too, though
@@yehor_ivanov As long as a black/brown person uses common sense and a piece of mind, I wont dislike my own kind. - Michael Cobbs.
@@yehor_ivanov His message is basically to be yourself but bring awareness/knowledge to the game.
When mos def pauses to think he holds completely still I thought the video was buffering
Damm these two definitely made it cool for me to b different growing up had to go listen to "never do what they do" by the roots after watching this lol #umisays
These brothers are telling TRUTH
Happy birthday Dante 🎂
Good point made
5:00 gave me a serious dose of deja' vu' .. he very well may have said that before but whew
God bless you
Gold.
Peace to the blackstar movement and the people's party. Rakim is the greatest MC to ever do it and i remember listening to microphone fiend when i was very small in my early age. Hip hop music has change and became more obsessed with material things and gains. Which can be displayed as capitalism and hip hop wasn't born from that platform. It came from a broken community that had to build themselves up. It's crazy how much things have changed and it's getting worser as more greed comes into play. Hopfully one day we will open our eyes again and start spreading truth with dialogue and conversation through the music like we use too. One love 🖤🤘🏾🖤

I am still.madly in love with Dante smith still
I love me some Yasin Bey
Mau Maus in the Spike Lee Joint, BAMBOOZLED…
This mans voice is so iconic
👑Yasiin Bey👑 mos definitely right!!!…✊🏿❤️✊🏿
Education w/ Freddie Gibbs is in my top 10 favorite hip-hop songs of all time.
Word up! Jungle Brothers and their Afro-centric themes were and still are powerful!
Still my favorite groups to this day are Jungle Brothers, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Camp Lo. . .
But also KRS-ONE is truly a great thought leader in Sub Saharan, black African uplifting.
The black mother is the original mother. We can trace back the whole human race back to a handful of mothers in East Africa.
I think Nas’ & Damian Marley’s album ‘Distant Relatives’ was perfect in terms of studio quality and concept. Although I played that album to death so I gotta let it breathe.
I think the best hip hop gets its inspiration from the mother-land and its people. Busta Rhymes gets honorable mentions too
YES!!! 1 2 3 MOS DEF AND TALIB KWELI
Agree 100% wit mos!!!! On the west it was solo ice cube for me! Best era ever
UNIVERSAL MAGNETIC
Black on Both Sides is always brought up as Yasiin’s classic - and it is a classic, not here to contest that - but it’s kind of a shame how much that album continues to overshadow The Ecstatic. It’s ahead of its time and a classic in it’s own right, just unfortunately so unappreciated.
Well, the ecstatic isn't really out there right now for audiences to consume because it's not on streaming services so really the only way to listen to it is if you bought a pressing when it came out or free on TH-cam, and many ppl will probably not know that he has that auburn in his discog. All said, very underrated album and definitely a 2nd classic next to Black on both Sides
Yeah maaan!!!
Yassin bey is dope an amazing Black man
❤️🖤💚
❤🖤💚
That was the era era
Can we please please get a new Blackstar album??
Reminded of a Jackson Pollock video with him painting and overdubbing himself saying (over solo violin music) that he would rather express himself directly than to describe what he does. Autonomy in person who creates without clinging to a former category seems to make some definition wheelers in comments sections itchy, oh well. Wow, you did that + What does it mean to you? ... isn't my business and I accept the challenge to heed what Mama Used To Say: take your time + live your life.... instead of remaining an electric stowaway in some old sunken limitation.

Mos def real hip hop

#TimelessNYCHipHopClassics
Who were the idiots who disliked this? Must be some trap music apologists mad that Talib and Mos not making fools of themselves
Straight Up Trap Music Has Damaged The Black Community.I Lived Through The Crack Era But This Trap Music Is A Different Animal
@@getmoneychill6462 trap music began to rise at the same time as social media so you have an entire generation of young folk who's grown up with the biggest negative influences in world history
Trap music is pure trash
Talib travels with haters because of his perceived politics. Probably nothing about this vid at all
@@getmoneychill6462 the black community was damaged long before trap music
Straight facts with everything he says on there
People forget about dead prez mixtape dj drama mixtape
Revolutionary But Gangsta (RBG) 🔴⚫️🟢 CLASSIC ✊🏿
Happy Father’s Day yasiin
we need bob marley lauryn hill rap
I’m very confused after hearing “Behold a Pale Horse” in his Blackness Books List?
2:09/8:09 It's like that still but within the microcosm of the "black consciousness" community. You either gotta be rockin a ankh and down with Kemet, bussing tassels with the Hebrew Israelite, dawning a fez with the Moors, or wearing a suits with the nation. If not, you outside the cypha. And Kweli is right. Only he should've spoken in presentence because we still get lost in the retelling of our story. Mentally rehearsing the same pain body over and over, creating more frustration and no solution.
Mos looking like his regular self again.
Black Rock
Asleep rap 😂
Much respect, never less.💯
Black star reflection eternal black on both sides was a better education than high school at the time
Blackness, cause black then we were motivated by ourselves 1st.
Top five Dead or Alive
The moor yasim bey
We are the Native People of this here country
Mos Def is Black, Yasiin Bey is a Moor
I would love to hear a mos def and cambatta collab
You guys are part of Native Tongues, too, right?
Then open doors for others with the mentality your speakin of
5:04 "conscious rap opposed to...'sleep rap'? What do you even mean...?" well pretty much exactly that... It's even called cloud or mumble rap... Where is your mind when you're asleep symbolically speaking? What or how do you utter whilst asleep? mumbling
I miss old york rap
Damn man that's where rap was man I don't see it no more yo Jesus I had to say it he be knocking over doors yo all upset like you did the money man
The whole concept of (BLACK) lives matter is predicated on reactive counter culture, its as racist as saying blacker the berry sweeter the juice, is this so from todays evidence that sentiment has soured sorely. This concept of ‘BLACK’ its not stipulated in proactive culture hence where we are today, by actively opposing an opposite hue in a broader spectrum we retain and continue this destructive dialogue, of insularity between two colours, hence where we get ‘everything is not just black white,’ the subtle ostracism and elitism rears its ugly head to those who do not identify with black and white wars, we clearly are more than that, and we deserve to be more than that but if we continue in this back and forth rhetoric, the lives that passed whom this movement represent will remain in vain, by creating inclusive and relatable systems that can sympathesize with everyone we create healthier safer environments for more constructive dialogue.
1st ist
Artisan…Product … consumer…what is it???
It's a shame Pro blackness is out of HIP HOP...no wonder it's garbage ...this rap now has taken the culture BCK to a low level mindset and the dumbing down of lyracism ....BCK then we had conscious MCS...such as Kweli and Mos def..aka Yasin bey ...there will never be a 2 like these EVER...peace to these 2 intelligent MCs..who as always never get enough credit for their authenticity ....
Blame the south.
@@6thbr871 no blame people that don't want to buy so-called conscious rap
@@wildsidetv313 that’s the south nigga
