Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) ft. The Roots: The Ilumaniti Free Playlist

This is a dope song. When I’ve had troubles it became part of my internal soundtrack. Now, whenever I hear it my heartbeat slows and my brainwaves edge closer to theta state. True peace.
Yasiin Bey is one of those dudes… I can play him in front of my children without having to worry that they will catch some psychological virus. His lyrics drip knowledge and power; all of them, all of the time.
That he volunteered to undergo force feeding illustrates a profound sense of duty to his fellow man. You can’t fake that. You can’t buy it or donate your way towards a down payment on it. You either have it or you don’t, and 99.9 percent of us don’t. Myself included.
That’s why he’s on the Ilumaniti Free Playlist.
Enjoy.
