5.0 out of 5 stars Body Rock - mos def, tash, q-tip, June 16, 2001
This track featured on the original Lyrcist Lounge album is a reminder to us all how hip hop has evolved out of the monotomous and unthoughtfull "gangster" style associated with the dying sounds of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. 88 keys puts down a dope beat which the fresh emmceeing complements well and the combination of old skooler Q-tip, west side alkaholik Tash and east coast innovator Mos Def is definetly the pioneering voice of hip hop. BUY THIS TRACK ! IF NOT GET THE ALBUYM !

3.0 out of 5 stars Overhyped Or Worthy Of The Praise?, April 3, 1999
By A Customer
Brooklynite Mos Def (who along with Talib Kweli, spearheaded the commercial rise of "underground" rap in 1998) showcases his lyrical skills in this track lifted from the much-lauded "Lyricist Lounge Volume 1" compilation. Employing a spare jazzy backbeat and enlisting the vocal finesse of Q-Tip (of the late A Tribe Called Quest) as well as West Coast phenom Tash, this essentially serves as a rather skeletal primer to the aforementioned collection although this single does boast an instrumental for those so inclined.

4.0 out of 5 stars good representation, much props
this single is pretty tight, but then again- i love my old school jams. but it's a tight little jawn. if you like hip-hop you'll find yourself bobbing your head to this beat!
