Mos Def = Do It Now

A classic will endure, no matter how many years come to pass since its initial release. For Mos Def, who delivered Black On Both Sides twenty-one years ago to this day, a fair percentage of his legacy has been built around the album. Seen by many as one of the greatest debuts of all time, Mos Def’s emcee mentality remains as deadly now as it was back in 1999. So much so that hearing him trade bars with Busta Rhymes over some delightfully vintage production is enough to crack a smile on any purist’s face.

Though many have come to associate Mos with his conscious themes and thought-provoking concepts, sometimes it’s enough to hear him putting in work on a purely technical basis. On “Do It Now,” Mos made sure to set it off with no shortage of charisma, setting off a ridiculous back-and-forth scheme with the expectedly energetic Bus-A-Bus. “Heard the rhyme, head high, what ya starin at ya sneakers, you shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now,” spits Yasiin, in his opening verse. “You don’t feel fly now, you hunting the exit sign down / Fuck what you heard, cause I snatch the grapevine down.”

Lyrics

[Mos Def]
Back up, back up, back up, back up
Back up back up back up back up EASE off
This goes out to all area crew (yes yes)
To my BK crew (ooh-OOOOOOOH-WHEEE) to my QB crew
My LI crew, my Shaolin crew
My Dirty South crew
(What cha’ll niggaz about the Dirty South?)
Atlanta, North Cakalak’
For all my fam, all area crew (AOWWWWWWWWW)
Yeah mon!!

Yes, the first cut should be the deepest
to penetrate beyond the muscle wall’s inner regions
First you was icin me, connect with the starin at the speakers
Heard the rhyme, head high, what ya starin at ya sneakers
You shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now
You don’t feel fly now, you huntin the exit sign down
Fuck what you heard, cause I snatch the grapevine down (yea yeah)
Don’t understand how I ran the line down, rewind now

[Busta Rhymes]
YO!! We be the most magnetic, so athletic
Leave your peeps on the side so they can watch you and your mans get it
Take the arch rivalry stance up on the podium
And give the flavor to niggaz but keep it low on sodium
Posess shit that got you wonderin how we holdin em
Things that’ll lay you out like a piece of linoleum
Bring who-ever you want, we bout to bug son and bounce
down to Henry Hudson, after I bust one!

Heavy aquatic water flows keep them on they toes
Tell them thugs that wanna be CEO’s to be derobed
‘Fore I wear your little dumb ass out like Easter clothes!

Sometime I speak slow so people understand my street flow
And while we keep it hot, we got the most shine up in
