mos on graduation

As we know Mos Def has been outta the spotlight for quite a while (not talking Movies here yo). Yeah I know he dropped "Tru Magic" this past year, but we all know how that went down. So anyway as a huge fan of his I've been lookin' for Mos to make some big moves as an MC (shit he's the reason why I began to listen to hip-hop.). I guess apparently there's just some shit we just dont really know too much about, like the problems with Geffen, the divorce, and other bullshit.

So anyway I've noticed that the track listing for Ye's "Graduation", has Mos appearing on two tracks "Drunk & Hot Girls" (thats dope) & "Good Night". To me its not necessarily a huge surprise, but its great to see him appearing on one of this years most highly anticipated albums. As matter of fact that shit means a lot me. I just hope this continues to be a pattern for Mos, but not just with Kanye but on his own too, you know maybe getting around letting us know more about himself and his travels as the MC, not just the actor.

And I say all this because we got Kweli doing his thing with Blacksmith, Com and the recent mainstream success he's been having, 1st 15th for Lupe, The Roots moving to Def Jam, plus they got ?uestlove allover the place, and finally Ye... well shit he's Ye.

I dont know it just feels as though he's missing, and sometimes I just cant help but wonder about it.
