Yasiin Bey [Mos Def] ft. Slick Rick - Auditorium (Lyrics)

[@wicklash9065]

I dont care. Mos is one of if not the best lyricist out there. Man straight up has some of the most complex verses while still managing to flow the whole damn thing. One of the goats 🐐

SLICK’S VERSE, ONE OF THE BEST I’VE HEARD

[@Bevtone]

Mos def, Madlib, Slick rick = absalute perfection

[@beastmode7448]

Thank you from Ukraine! I never expected Yasiin Bey’s lyrics to mirror my life, but now they do. I’ve been a longtime fan of Black Star’s music, and it’s always inspired me to keep going. Their songs not only gave me strength but also helped me learn English. Whenever life feels impossible, Mos Def lines from Sunshine song comes into my mind: "We family, y'all, let it be bright."

[@satyammishra2090]

The original sample used in Mos Def's Auditorium was sourced from the song “Do jhooth ji ek sach ke liye” by legendary Lata Mangeshkar who passed away this year. Music by Shankar-Jaikishan, legendary duo. Movie - Do Jhooth (1975 Hindi film). Give props to the real gems for this legendary music 🙌

[@Houssam-Erick-4]

What did he meant when he talked about iraq ?

[@Challengermo12345]

I am not sure but he meant like he was a soldier in Iraq and a kid comes up to him and tells him f₹₹₹ off his land and leave his oil and hisland all alone. This basically causes him to qs the whole purpose of the war and it causes him to check his moral compass

[@MariJoree]

No offense but that verse is clear as hell in its intent if you don't understand idek what's wrong with you man

Yo I’m white and crave knowledge and this song changed my view on the races of the world. I currently reading The Holy Quran And jus wanna know God/Allah/Jehovah.! All the same and I don’t feel anyone has got it right but Jews or Muslims. And I was baptized Catholic
