Mos Def Absent On 24 Hour Karate School
Tuesday, August 31 2010 2:02 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True StoryRemember Ski Beatz’s 24 Hour Karate School compilation? Well, it finally has a release date: September 21st. Bad news for fans of Mos Def though. The rapper will no longer appear on the project due to, well, politics as usual. Ski offered this explanation via his Twitter account:
Don’t worry guys I think I’m a give the Mos Def tracks away for free. Mos Def wouldn’t clear his songs in time.. but I think I’m going to make them available for free downloads.





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
Definitely grabbing this album
This Whole Thing is A Disaster Half Of The Tracks on Here have Been Out For Months.
@DallasTx_Greedy
Fuck you. Your life is a disaster
^ Yeah I am A Sophomore @ SMU and almost Get Straight A’s i Should Jump off a Building.
Iam Saying Yall Know How Much this Project was Hyped up & Its No Where NEAR is DOPE as I Thought it Was gonna Be Its Been On Hold for months and they Couldn’t Add New Songs to Replace The shit that’s Been Out For Ever c mon
LMAO @Cudder Catching Feelings Over a Comment SMH……
Because the songs have been out that makes it a disaster?
Pilot Talk was the same way, yet its probably one of the best albums to drop this year, all the tweaks they make make a huge difference in the end. So I don’t really see whats disastrous about it?
Plus the songs Mos Def was on are going to be GIVEN to you. On top of that he’s releasing the original 24 HKS for free since they didn’t want to clear the samples. Its honestly quality music yet i dont get how people still have the nerve to complain.. It baffles me
[...] Yesterday the ‘revised‘ tracklisting for Ski Beatz’s 24 Hour Karate School compilation surfaced, and many folks were wondering what exactly happened to those Mos Def features which appeared on the original list. Earlier today, Ski Beatz took to his Twitter explain Mos’ absence from the project (via RR): [...]
I don’t think it’s a disaster but it’s VERY dissaponiting real talk it’s kinda wack and pilot talk wasn’t that good IMO
Well that sucks.
1 – C’mon son.
and 2 – Mos WOULDN’T clear the samples or COULDN’T? Ski apparently said wouldn’t and there’s a huge difference, wonder what that’s about…

The truth is Mos and Dame had a huge falling out over some ego shit. Both felt like they were the reason DD became what it is (take that as you may) and felt unappreciated in their own right. To be honest, Mos is a weird dude who has his own priorities and quirks that monkeywrenched his participation in the whole shabang. He is no longer affilated with the movement down there, and that sucks, cause good shit was being made.
@alittlebirdytoldme it figures. Then next thing we knew, he was on GOOD Music…. SHADY
