![]() Hell, Mos evens finds a way to incorporate his penchant for mumble-warbling classic hip-hop tracks, an exercise he engaged in for far too long periods of time on Tru3 Magic. In fact, I’d say it does the best job of any of his solo albums at incorporating both his rapping and singing talents. The tracks take elements of everything from Afrobeat to traditional Indian and Middle Eastern music.īut even with the clear Madvillain/DOOM influences, The Ecstatic still very much feels like a Mos Def album. Beat-wise, he enlists a whole host of producers, including Madlib himself and his younger brother Ohno, to provide him with a trippy soundscape. There are still 16 tracks on the album, but barely half of them exceed three minutes in length, keeping Ecstatic running a little over 45 minutes. Mos keeps things brief, often kicking one verse or two short ones before moving on. However, the album still appealed to fans of Mos’ music and is one of the best hip-hop albums released in 2009. With The Ecstatic, he channels DOOM in terms of execution and creates an album more bugged and left-of-center than anything that he recorded previously. Mos had always been a left-of-center, bugged out emcee, and that holds true on even his most “traditional” efforts. During this period, Mos seemed to focus more on his film career than his musical output, and the lack of interest showed.įortunately, The Ecstatic was a return to form for Mos Def, in terms of quality if not style. While New Danger was at least sincere, Tru3 Magic was completely phoned in, the work of an artist trying to get out of his record deal. And then he followed New Danger up with Tru3 Magic (2006), an album that lacked both ambition and direction. He followed up BOBS with the extremely ambitious but ultimately bloated and directionless The New Danger (2004). Unfortunately, Mos’ musical journey got a little bumpy through most of the ’00s. People, including myself, believed it was the beginnings of what was to be a storied career. Between Black Star (1998), his team-up with Talib Kweli, and Black On Both Sides, Mos Def was shaping up to be something truly special: a dynamic and charismatic personality who could rap, sing, and even act. The Ecstatic came a decade after Mos’ Black On Both Sides (1999), his successful and acclaimed debut solo album. Released 10 years ago, its Mos Def’s version of Madvillainy. And it makes sense that he was singing the praises of the Metal Faced Terrorist in this setting, because The Ecstatic is very much influenced by DOOM. While these moments were being taped, Mos was in the studio to record The Ecstatic, his fourth solo project. And I stared at it and I just kept going, ‘…I understand you.’” I bought it on vinyl just to stare at the album. “I swear to God, when I saw that Madvillain record, I bought it on vinyl I ain’t have a record player. “Actually, it would be fun, because he rhymes as weird as I feel,” he responds. When someone off-screen then suggests it might be a challenge for Mos to write with DOOM, Mos smirks a little. He stands in the studio, effortlessly spitting DOOM verses, mostly from songs from MM… Food (2014). Note: ‘The Ecstatic’ is not currently available in authorized form via major streaming platforms, hence the absence of embedded audio in this article.Ībout 10 years ago, a video popped up on YouTube of Dante “ Yasiin Bey” Smith formerly known as The Mighty Mos Def showing his love for MF DOOM. Happy 10th Anniversary to Mos Def’s fourth studio album The Ecstatic, originally released June 9, 2009.

(tattoo layers can also be created: skin blend flies are included) The Skin Blend Layer will appear white until you edit the layer and follow the same process used to tint your breasts. These are lays of clothing worn to help further blend away markings on your avatar skin. Skin Blend Layers: To help further blend your breasts to your skin, Skin Blend layers can be worn. You can also manually enter your RGB value via chat with the microphone. Find a skin base that works for you and try using the color editor box to tint the base closer to your avatar skintone. ![]() (in this example the skin is from Al Vulo – Sally natural 2 porcelain) I chose to go with an “Olive” base since the “Skin Set 1 Hud – Reds” have shadows that are still a bit too warm for this skin tone. Avatars with skin tones that fall into the cooler color categories will benefit more from choosing a skin tone with more olive or blue base shading. Some avatar skins have warmer undertones, so you would probably prefer to choose a skin that has base shading from the red color ranges. Your avatar will have darker tones along the sides of the chest and the under arm area. It is best to start by choosing a skin base with shading similar to that of your avatars. The key is to try to match the shadows from your avatar with the shadows of the prim breasts. (for more help on managing that line see Skye’s post on smoothing the transition.) These are some of the minor things we endure to be able to have larger full breasts that do not look like square blocks sticking out from our chests. (such as graphics settings) There will not be a perfect graduation between your prim breast and your avatar. (like the breasts) What one person sees differs greatly from what another person sees based on many parameters. There are many factors forever changing the way light is reflected on our avatar versus how it reflects on primitive objects.
