Editorial Reviews

CLASSIC FROM BLACK ON BOTH SIDES ALBUM Mos Def turns soul singer for this classic tune taken from his debut solo album Black On Both Sides, a loose limbed funk affair with splashings of rhodes keys. This cd single also includes his debut single, the sought after Universal Magnetic, originally released on Rawkus back in '97 and now a hip hop collector's item

5.0 out of 5 stars Let Us All Take A Sip, March 14, 2005

Let us all take a sip from the cup of wisdom from which this man creates. This song is at the top of my list of all time greats and I have listened to some music. Mos has proven over and again that he indeed is a messenger and acknowlegdes the fact that he is merely the instrument by which God is speaking to us. He is not perfect, he is not beyond mortal but his music is "eternal magnetic you should respect it." Every time his cd walks mysteriously, I let it roll off my back because I feel like at least the messages he's bringing is touching people enough for them to want to steal it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow Hip Hop, June 29, 2003

By 

Shay (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Umi Says Pt.1 (Audio CD)

This song is powerful. I love this jam. I heard it on the Nike commercial with Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter and I fell in love with it! Mos Def has done it again! He has some smooth music to go along with his tight beats. He always has something powerful and positive to say. I don't care what anyone says...this record is definitely something special and is tight work all the way 'round. Cop that!!!
