So I just saw Mos Def tonight at Santa Clara U. And as my friend so aptly put it, “We didn’t see a Mos Def show…We got the Mos Def Experience.” Extended periods of time where Mos just had his DJ playing random different soul tracks and dancing to em. At least he didn’t go over the top singing, but why start off your set with 2 tracks from your garbage-ass new album? Overall, only 3 songs from the 2 albums that everyone loves him for: Definition, Ms. Fat Booty, and Umi Says (the closer). But after he stopped playing tracks and dancing, the set came together, and the crowd got into it…the first part was saved only by ogling scantily clad drunk college chicks. Either way, it was nice that he put it together, I left with a good taste, but I would like to see him at some point perform any 2 of: Body Rock, Universal Magnetic, Mathematics, Mr. Nigga, Respiration, etc. etc. and stay away from shit that nobody likes or cares about. But you can’t have it all.
I took no pictures because I’m neurotic and dying right now with no sleep and 40 0z of caffeine in my veins (yay heart palpitations) so I wasn’t on top of that camera situation. Also on a side note a Crime Mob video is on right now. 1) Can you think of a more generic name than crime mob? Since when is any “mob” not about crime? 2) How can I get into Crunk University?
