True Magic Reviews

Out of respect to the legacy that was left with Black on Both Sides, I felt that True Magic was deserving of a few more plays. But recycled lyrics through an unenthusiastic voice has ultimately left me wondering what has happened to the Mighty Mos. To put it bluntly, the CD almost put me to sleep tonight while driving home from LA.

Being a fan of Mos Def is no longer an excuse to appreciate his musical "attempts" anymore. Shifting his focus to acting has become well apparent as this new album just fails to revive the "true magic" that was Black on Both Sides.
