Nowhere is Mos Def’s reverence for the past clearer than on History, his reunion with fellow Black Star emcee Talib Kweli. Mos the album’s one Dilla beat for the occasion. Kweli’s verse is as good as anything we have heard from him in years and both rappers sound strong enough to have any fan praying that this Black Star 2 thing really happens. The Ecstatic opens with a Malcolm X quote: I for one will join in with anyone, I don’t care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth. Aside from being a fitting intro to a political album encompassing global beats and viewpoints, this quote juxtaposes well with the album’s heaviest hitting track, Life in Marvelous Times. The song is as good an anthem as any for a seemingly paradoxical age that routinely sees events such as a Black man being elected president of a nation wallowing in racial inequality.

Listen free to Mos Def – The Ecstatic (Supermagic, Twilite Speedball and more). The Ecstatic is the fourth studio album by American hip hop artist Mos Def, released June 9, 2009 on Downtown Records. The album was recorded during 2007 to 2009, and production was handled by J Dilla, Mr. Flash, Madlib, Mos Def, Oh No, Preservation, and The Neptunes. The Ecstatic features samples of several diverse musical styles, including soul, Afrobeat, jazz, funk, and Latin music, and has been noted by music writers for its "out-of-the-crates" samples.

During the first several years of the 2000s, it wasn't unreasonable to want Mos Def, one of the most dazzling living MCs, to make a rap album. After he released 2006's True Magic, his first all-rap release in seven years - following the back-to-back instant classics Black Star and Black on Both Sides - it was easier to understand why he had been devoting much more time to acting and diversions like The New Danger

Slating 'The Ecstatic' above 'Black on Both Sides' is probably heresy in most hip-hop head circles, but I can't deny my gut, and my gut tells me that this thing is all the lyricism and slippery flows of BoBS with even better production (much courtesy to the one and only Madlib - and his brother), more immediate political. themes, and much more energy for much of the record. I can't shake it, and I don't want to. This thing is fucking great. 1. 1y. CheapandLethal.

The Ecstatic is the 2009 fourth studio album by American rapper Mos Def. After venturing further away from hip hop with an acting career and two poorly received albums, Mos Def signed with Downtown Records and recorded The Ecstatic primarily at the Record Plant in Los Angeles. He worked with producers such as Preservation, Mr. Flash, Oh No, and Madlib, the latter two of whom reused instrumentals they had produced on Stones Throw Records. The Ecstatic was described by music journalists as a conscious and alternative hip hop record with an eccentric, internationalist quality. Mos Def's raps about global politics, love, spirituality, and social conditions were informed by the zeitgeist of the late 2000s, Black internalionalism, and Pan-Islamic ideas, as he incorporated a number of Islamic references throughout the album.
