Mos Def first verse is possibly the greatest rap performance I've ever heard. The lyrics, flow, cadances, delivery, just the pure poetry of it. Just absolutely breath taking. That beat is just mesmerising. One of the best songs I've ever heard. Pure masterpiece

For anybody who's curious that first audio clip at 3:27 is from the 1966 film "The Battle of Algiers". He's speaking the Algerian dialect of Arabic and saying "this one doesn't win, this one doesn't win, this one doesn't win, this one wins, ok, this one doesn't win, this one doesn't win". It's from a scene in the opening where a guy is running a game of cards on the street then gets put away by the cops. Then, the kid says "men have two faces. One is smiling, one is crying." The man responds "they sent you?" "Yes, they sent me. Here, take this".

My dad loves Slick Rick and I love Mos Def, its so cool to see them together here. Amazing production, overall mixed so well. I really enjoy the samples and look forward to listening to this for the next 20+ years. Slick Rick's first hook went nuts. And Mos Def's outro gave me Black on Both Sides vibes too (best album ever?)

Reflecting on “Mos Def - Auditorium (featuring Slick Rick)” and the Resonance of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Ah, the timeless rhythm of Mos Def’s “Auditorium” reverberates through my memories, transporting me back to that April day, one year ago. As I listen, I find myself immersed in a blend of nostalgia and admiration, much like the way I feel when reflecting on the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 1. The Melodic Flow: The opening notes of “Auditorium” cascade like a gentle stream, weaving intricate patterns of sound. Slick Rick’s lyrical prowess dances atop the beat, creating a vivid auditory tapestry. It’s a symphony of words, much like Kareem’s elegant movements on the basketball court-a fluidity that defied his towering stature. 2. The Skyhook: A Sublime Artistry: As the song unfolds, I’m reminded of Kareem’s signature move-the Skyhook. A shot so graceful, it transcended mere basketball mechanics. When he raised that long arm, the ball seemed to kiss the heavens before descending inexorably into the net. It wasn’t a thunderous dunk or a flashy crossover; it was quiet, precise, and devastatingly effective-much like the understated brilliance of “Auditorium.” 3. Dominance Beyond Decibels: Kareem’s Skyhook wasn’t about showmanship; it was about mastery. Just as the beat in “Auditorium” doesn’t scream for attention, Kareem’s dominance didn’t rely on noise. He didn’t need to shatter backboards or posterize opponents. His legacy was etched in the subtle swish of the net, the quiet inevitability of points accumulating. Like the song, he didn’t demand applause; he earned respect. 4. The Unstoppable Force: How do you defend against a Skyhook? You don’t. It’s an unsolvable equation-an elegant geometry that left defenders grasping at air. Kareem’s 7’2" frame became an immovable fortress, and that shot was his impenetrable gate. Just as the beat in “Auditorium” loops seamlessly, Kareem’s consistency looped through seasons, championships, and records. 5. Defensive Symphony: But greatness isn’t one-sided. Kareem wasn’t just an offensive maestro; he orchestrated defensive symphonies too. His shot-blocking prowess-like the unexpected twists in the song-disrupted opponents’ plans. Eleven All-Defensive teams bear witness to his commitment to both ends of the court. He wasn’t content with half-measures; he played the entire symphony. 6. The GOAT Debate: And so, as I listen to “Auditorium,” I ponder the GOAT debate. Kareem’s name surfaces, not in the thunderous roars of Shaq or the flashy crossovers of others, but in the quiet reverence of those who truly understand the game. Six championships, two Finals MVPs, and two scoring titles-yes, those are the accolades. But it’s the Skyhook, the unwavering consistency, and the complete package that elevate him. Conclusion: In the echoes of “Auditorium,” I find Kareem’s legacy-a blend of artistry, dominance, and humility. He didn’t need to shout; his game spoke volumes. And just as the beat lingers, so does his impact on basketball history. So, here’s to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-the GOAT whose Skyhook remains etched in our collective memory, much like the haunting melody of “Auditorium.” 🏀🎶🌟

anyone wondering, the bit at the end is from the movie "battle of Algiers" an Italian film made right after the Algerian revolution. The first voice is Ali le Puente, a hustler turned revolutionary who was murdered in his house (bombing) by French occupiers. His home in La Kasbah of Algiers is a monument to him to this day.
