Say you will

What do you mean multiple forms of hip-hop? To be honest hip-hop doesnt mean one thing anymore. Theres deep underground, underground, G-funk, religious, politcal, latin, mainstream, the list could literally go on and on.
Today, I saw a trailer for "Next Day Air" and a co-worker and I get to talkin about Mos Def. "You listen to Mos?" was the question I asked. "Of course" was the reply I got. We started to talk about favorite albums. Then he brought to my attention that Def did a interpretation of Kanye Wests "Say you Will." Id like to note that I said interpretation as with jazz you dont cover you play what you feel.
Heres a little background: Mos Def did a string of shows in New Yorks legendary jazz club, The Blue Note. He was backed by the RCDC Experiment (Robert Glasper, Chris Dave, Casey Benjamin & Derrick Hodge)
I get such a mr. clean vibe from it. So smooth, mellow, and just jazzy. At its base you find the original Kanye music but at its soul you'll find so much more. Deep right?
Below you will find a link to the track:
Yesterday, was a long day. In short I did some things out of the blue that will affect my future. No worries they were good decisions but more on the matter as they develop. It really is starting to pour all on down. Deadlings, deadlines, deadlines. Is all that I hear lately and as a business major those deadlings have to be met. Near the end of the night I went to Unique's Multicultural night at the University Ballroom. Saw lots of people that I knew and had seen in class. Great way to cap off the day. BTW, Battle of the Bands is coming up (May 4, 2009) to be exact AMA is co-sponsoring the event so you all should come by and check it out.
As for today there isnt much to say because I worked. Pretty kosher and laid back.
To give you a bit of funny. I am reminded of Chappelle show and how hilarious it was. Sigh bring back great TV.
