From the cover art Mos Def radiated the divine dark by imprinting his image as an Egyptian god on our psyche, The right t image for a perfect album
At the Peak of his godhood he went into his inner sanctums and blended hearts, souls, knowledge, intellect, every figure of speech, and that real elixir of the everlasting into a timeless hip-hop album.
He really did put his heart and soul into this album that he never truly recovered from the exhaustion, the blast it created tore the fabric of time itself with a nuclear bomb of an album proving that in 1999 a black Cornrow cameo would come for the world of music and laid the rail of freedom from time to come.
The scale of the subject matters he discussed and what he was able to achieve cannot be estimated not quantified, he went everywhere, touched every subject and tailored the album from track to track in a delicatessen just for your continued listen.
It is an album with an image that will haunt you for the rest of your life. it's starts with a prayer, and Fela's Fear not of man, this is album that should be the gift of every black child when they turn 15, saying welcome to black now understand it.
He talks about Love, Brooklyn, New world water, it is consciousness hip-hop that made his face the face of hip-hop.
The album art is the very jar of this album sometimes I just stare at it and I could tell that he was Once a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, His eye brows, big ears and full lips he is the black epitome of intellectual gangster, pure and raw energy.

His voice is like thunder, the writing on this album is so tight and crisp, I must have listened to a week straight and still find cherries in every branch, and my mind go on its merry go around from Fear not of man to May - December thinking which horse is the fastest, and. Mathematics grips harder but I like Love , Umi says and Rock and Roll; that shriek and laughter is my joy. The man rap lands in thuds and shots fast sharp and piercings new York style, Jam master Jay would have been proud, he stretch himself thin in this album, the reason it is a no skip album. The man studied and did his homework, a wonderful actor but that is by the way, intelligence exudes from him and his work is indelible as only he had the audacity to brand hip-hop. To say when a neonate say I need a hip-hop album Mos DEF BLACK ON BOTH SIDES would be the eponymy
His sampled were perfect, this isn't just an album it's a cosmic event the coming together perfectly of a variety of factors, not a man but a god on top of his game wrapped in the beautiful art of timelessness, Mos Def made hip-hop album.
