With his album, The Ecstatic in stores today, Pretty Flaco made an appearance last night on David Letterman and even brought his own timpanis! Shimmer down, folks.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot

I still vote for Mos to play Busy Bee in a 70′s Bronx, Party Film…
Black Star will always be classic, but truth is that Mos has always been miles ahead of Talib. Black on both sides, the New Danger, and now the Ecstatic show he and Talib might share a contrarian viewpoint, but artistically they have no business together. While Talib and Common have moved toward Kanye to gain greater acceptance, Mos lives outside the rules of traditional hip hop. Listen to tracks like Umi Says, the Embassy, Climb, Modern Marvel, I could go on. This performance shows that…Fela Kuti, Timpani drums, a traditional kit and a DJ. Where does he think of this stuff?! This guy is much more than a lyricist. If only he spent more time on music and less time making movies like “Be Kind, Rewind…”
It makes no sense to be this good. The album is tight. I haven’t stopped listening to it yet. I knew if was going to be about the business, but he still came hard with it. Best cd of 2009.
Between Mos Def and Saul Williams Hip hop has been given a true artistic future.
