It's not about being mature, I don't enjoy listening to it. I don't care how "soulful" it is or whatever, I'm not going to listen to it if I don't like the sound of it.

although you don't like it, it is not in anyway a bad song
it comes down to preference but that's what soul music sounds like (or mos interpretation of soul) which is the foundation of hip hop as that's what's sampled constantly
when I was 15 I was a mosher so it was all about aggression then
now I am addicted to the beat like an addict
This album is a classic to me, i can put it on and not skip a single track, the production is tight, and mos is on point with his lyrics, this is from and era when mos was at his best!
dope as hell gave it a nine blackstarr is a 10 tho
i give it a 7. doesn't come close to the blackstar album, although "hip hop" is a monumental track.
10, classic
and True Magic is not bad. in fact, i'd give it an 8.. that's right i said it!
i just got the album last week so i finally got to hear the whole album. its a great album, even when hes singing it doesnt get annoying. i love new world water, mathematics, ms fat booty, brooklyn,etc.
9/10
Wack album because of the beats. I like his lyrics though. Umi Says song is wack. Mos Def shouldn't sing LOL.
In my top 10. Few artists make as definitive a mission statement as 'Hip-Hop'.
