And why wouldn’t he? Mos doesn’t need to rap, or sing. But, he loves both, and had the option of joining the one man who’s actually getting things done in Hip-Hop and has the game’s most anticipated album dropping in November. Good Ass Job? Nah, this is a G.O.O.D. ass year for Mr. West.
“The Brooklyn MC and West talk about the deal and break down their musical relationship in the October issue of XXL, which comes out on Tuesday and features a Kanye cover story. And Mos Def makes an appearance on West’s G.O.O.D. Friday single “Lord, Lord, Lord,” along with Swizz Beatz, Raekwon and singer Charlie Wilson. Mos’ decision to join G.O.O.D. Music follows the release of his last album, The Ecstatic, on indie label Downtown Records in 2009.” [MTV]
Not only has this innocent’s promo campaign taken over the Interweb, the VMAs and Twitter, but he just added the Mos Def to an all-star roster already consisting of Common, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Big Sean, Mr. Hudson, GLC, Consequence & John Legend.
Don’t call it a comeback.

I’m mad on the low. Don’t know if I should be happy or sad.
G.O.O.D. move Ye
I’m reserving judgment on this one until I hear some product, but it seems a little mismatched right now.
Like subways and G4′s…
Stew chicken and exotic fish sticks…
It does seem a lil backwards but I guess it all depends on exactly what Mos if looking for in signing. If he’s looking for a more commercial release, it’s probably a good thing. If he’s looking to expand creatively, then I don’t really understand why you need to be contractually bond to do that. All in all, I guess I don’t see it as being a “bad” thing.
best label in hip-hop.
w/ cyhi signed and jay, b and swizz on call… plus, you’ve gotta imagine weezy when he gets out, nicki… the list goes on…
i mean, fuck! ‘ye is serious. is anybody fucking with him right now?
So he shitted on Dame & Ski to rock with Ye & G.O.O.D. Music?
Seems kinda shady you ask me.
quite dope.
I don’t have a full read on this one yet. I think I’d much rather see Mos working more w/Ski but maybe working alongside ‘Ye and co. will bring some fire out of him.

Maybe this is the reason the Mos joint was taken off 24 hr karate school. I don’t know if this is a good or bad deal; it depends if Mos wants to put ou music. The only person holding Mos Def back is himself, the same can be said about Blu. If these cats want to shut shit down they would.
one of the biggest take aways from the ‘ye xxl article was that mos was the only one willing to talk to him after the t.swift b/s…
seems like a friend helping a friend… and seriously, w/o label b.s.? and a let-em-have-it-free approach to their music?
yes, please. more mos. definitely.
Mos Definitely Dope
fuck that, I’ll still bump the shit out of New Danger.
Kanye needs a creative person to come up with good ideas for him. Mos is about to get used the fuck up by ‘Ye’s ego, poor decision.
Up next in the label: Nasir Jones
Rather hear Mos working with Ski, but Ski beats won’t move units like working wuth Ye will. He has an NBA rotation of mouths to feed and waiting on the Italian 2: never coming out, won’t cut it.
Kanye is doing what we ALL wanted, he is making real hiphop popular. He is forcing people to now hear Madlib production, Pete Rock production, Mos’s rhymes, Cyhi’s rhymes to people who would never typically listen to them. Instead of trying to make a dance/southern/corny ass song to fit in, he’s sticking his middle finger up and forcing people to hear TRUE hiphop. That’s how it was years ago. Bitches used to dance to Pete and CL, Brand Nubian, etc, because it was cool.
How did Mos f over Dame and Ski?? Like what was the arrangement before?? I know he was messing with DD172 or whatever it’s called but what exactly happened??
Yes, the following is off-topic… but this ish has to stop:
“Rick Ross Says ‘Monster’ Proves Nicki Minaj Is ‘One Of The Greatest’
‘It was a moment in history,’ he tells Mixtape Daily of watching Ms. Minaj at work.”
These new rap cats love to brand each other “One Of The [insert 'One' of the most unfitting/unattainable/ and ridiculous titles here].”
If Biggie and Pac were alive… well, let us just say Rawse and Nicki would not even exist.

Rawse wasn’t complimenting her rhyming skills; he was complimenting her b breasts; 1 thing Rawse!! knows about are breasts. He is a full D himself. lol
Yeah it gets silly to hear cats crowning someone the next greatest ever and they haven’t done a 10th of what the truly greats have done.
@ TRA
Yeah rappers will say anything. Haven’t you listened to rap?! lol
Alex Trebek: Rick Ross
Contestant (or ANYONE else who is wise enough to see the truth like Roddy Piper in ‘They Live’):
“Who is the rapper who will say anything and has fans… excuse me, I mean fools… who buy into it?”
Alex: Correct!
Contestant: “Let’s continue on with ‘Who Tells Tales’ for $1000 Alex”
*Siren Noise*
*Audience Claps*
Alex: That’s our Daily Double [Platinum]!
I just hope this isn’t a Dre situation where Mos nevers drops an Album.
TRA: I f you get a rash of tickets this month; don’t be surprised. Da Bawse! don’t like unBAWSE!!ful talk. lol
Rick rawse came on the scene at the right time, cause he came out back in the day get caught out there with these lies, he wouldn’t have a career.
Mos Joinz Ye’… ?! Koo… So… LET ME HEAR SOME MUSIC… !!!
In order to get on a Kanye track you have to sign to G.O.O.D. Music. Its a prerequisite.
is Kanye’s album still gonna be called Good Ass Job? i thought he changed it to Dark twisted Fantasy. Mos Def on good music is probably a good look.
ths was a good move for mos.i went back on his catalog n remembrd yi loved ery1.but thru it all da only thng i felt he was lackn was consistnt quality production.just hearin him on tht lord lord lord was like a match made nda studio.look 4wrd 2hearn more.
Man i really thought he was going to sign to Blu Roc First wiz now him what the hell is going on with Mos he on his lebron james shit
He shoulda signed to Maybach Music.
yeah, Mos Def-initely shady. He left the DD172 fam hangin
Already sick of the big 3 talk , ha! heat
bigga u a damn fool but talking real shit not saying that the rawse is some trash but the game aint the same as it once was trust that and yeah mos i wanted to hear u on that karate school but then again they took too fucking long to drop it
now Ye just needs to work out a deal with Talib Kweli and his Blacksmith label so we can finally get a new blackstar album.
Great move by Mos Def & if he does what he did for Common then lookout Hip-Hop!!! Ye definitely the most consistent in hip-hop outside of the obvious Hov. G.O.O.D. Music!!!
