Mos Def/Yasiin Bey Flashes Some Serious Lyricism on tabi Bonney’s “Chop Chop” (Listen)

I feel like a dick for saying this, but I don't particularly care about Tabi Bonney on this new "Chop Chop" joint. No disrespect at all the the DMV emcee, he's really making something of himself, but I'm in this for the Mos Def/Yaasin Bey verse and the Ski Beatz production.

Yasiin Bey Opts For A Dope In-Studio Performance For His “Ni**as In Poorest” Video

While Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as In Paris" video was filmed using only the most high end of video equipment and featured exotic animals, Yasiin Bey took the more modest approach for his "Ni**as In Poorest" video and it only makes sense. I feel like the brain cells I may have lost during that Odd Future video have now been regained thanks to Yasiin. Kudos. See more...

I really do find this new Yasiin Bey "N*ggas In Poorest" to be quite intriguing. At first listen it almost sounded like a parody of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N*ggas In Paris." Especially with the different, exaggerated voices Yasiin uses on the song. It sounded like he was doing more than just remaking "N*ggas In Paris" it was as if he was making fun of the song while trying to still be conscious. Listen and download...
