New Video: Yasiin Bey “Basquiat Ghostwriter”
Arcade Music.
Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and the world’s recent events, Yasiin Bey illustrates his thoughts on this new recording fresh out the studio. Says Yasiin:
Good tidings in this season of the lion. Black August action. Peace. Happy Wednesday morning. In commemoration of the birth week of one Marcus Garvey, herein is an arrangement of visuals for the sonic composition “Basquiat Ghostwriter”, directed and produced by A Country Called Earth. Special thanks to I. Attallihi, J. Cuba and S. bin Sharifu.
FREE THE LAND. We are already in outer space. The local time is always now. Free Shmurda. If you are reading this, you are already reading. Weappreciateyuh.Negus. Eternal pedigree. Noble Empire. So real. Surreal.
L T P F J. peace.
– Yasiin Bey
= an older Mos Def rambling over a convoluted instrumental
This mix trash AF
What the hell. Where’s Kanye. Give this nigga a beat. Sound like some kid at your high school who said listen to my shit lol
I really really miss Might Mighty Mos Def.
and from now on I will refer to waka flaka as W.F. Flame.
THIS IS TRASH ! I DONT CARE IF HE’S A LEGEND. DA$H JUST DROPPED A MIXTAPE AND YOU STILL DON’T POST IT RR . STOP WAITING FOR THE INDUSTRY TO CO-SIGN HIM AND DO IT YOURSELF.
WHY DON’T YOU EMPOWER YOURSELF AND DO IT YOURSELF?!
So if you go to a restaurant and get bad service, do you tell the manager about it or open up a restaurant to”empower yourself?” Shut the fuck up forever .
Okay, you obviously didn’t get the joke, nor the reference.. So I’m just gonna leave it there.
After I listened to the song I was let down greatly and as I listened again and again the letdown only increased. Like the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. In light of that theme, let me just state that Mos Def’s trash is most definitely not my treasure.
You’re a weird individual! No other way to put it. Keep trollin’
IT’S JUST ART – EXPERIMENTAL SHIT – HE DESCRIBED WHAT IT WAS & Y HE DID IT – WHAT IT IS > WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
That song trash.
Anyone hating this doesn’t get how fuckin intricate what he just did is. And I actually liked the beat
The beat is the only part I liked.
COME BACK TO AMERICA YOU WEIRDO!!!!
#YASIINCRAY
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
What the fck did I just listen too?! This can’t be real!
wow this stinks like african doodoo
hate the damn beat tho… =( http://theincrediblecreation.bigcartel.com/
I like acid and psychedelic music but this thing right here is ass. Not because is intricate , on a diferent timing, asimetric or because is touching social subjects is gonna be good , get ya shit together. Not even the crazyiest music from the 60¨s go this loco
This corny ass shit didn’t need a video.
