Free Music Review: A New and Present Danger
Hit: 5 Stars
Watch out!! Mos Def fans will be pleasantly surprised by this album. There are many facets on this CD that we have not seen in hip hop. Mos hits us with everything from blues to rock and never misses a beat. And the beats are amazing and take you different places. There are a lot of closed minded individuals who negatively criticized this CD because most listeners are trained to be monotonous and never to step out side the box, but Mos Def is not to be put into the confines of a box of anything that suppresses his artistic creativity. This CD is not for those who don't love a wide range of music but for those who are music lovers no matter what the genre. Open your mind and let The New Danger make love to your ears.
The New Danger Poster
More than a mere rap album, Mos Def's long-awaited The New Danger combines hip-hop, blues, soul, and rock in an 18-track package that seeks to transcend convention. In that sense, it shares a similar spirit with Andre 3000's The Love Below or Common's Electric Circus, with mixed results. Mos's reputation has been built on the strength of his lyrical charisma, and songs like "Close Edge," "Grown Man Business," and "Sunshine" show that his skills haven't faded just because he's Emmy-nominated. He's already proven that he can cut more than just street heat--best evinced on the soulful, poetic "Umi Says," a surprise hit from his previous release, 1999's Black on Both Sides. Yet, the rock- and blues-inspired songs here, while by no means poor, are acquired tastes, given their tendency to noodle--they simply can't compare with Mos's cutting verbal displays. The album's length and sometimes clunky sequencing can make for challenging listening, especially when so many of his more experimental cuts come early on. New fans might find the album's eclecticism intriguing, although older fans will likely be a bit perplexed. --Oliver WangPop Music CDs
