Tonight / Love Yasiin Bey (FKA Mos Def) - "Love"
Posted by Larry Mizell, Jr. on Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 5:12 PM
My folks said they was in love when they had me/ I take they love they made me wit to make rhymes and beats...
Out of all the clichéd-ass, maudlin "hiphop, you the love of my life" type songs, this one be the realest since kumbaya. We're all embarassed of our backpacker pasts (or the analogous designation of your chosen musical subset)—particularly that thorny, troubling Rawkus era—but I will always love Black On Both Sides, and the former Mos' gift with words.
