Mos Def vs Marvin Gaye: Yasiin Gaye - The Return Vinyl 2LP

Mos Def vs Marvin Gaye: Yasiin Gaye - The Return Vinyl 2LP

Don’t call it a mash-up. Amerigo Gazaway is back with his outstanding re-imaginings of Marvin Gaye and Yasiin Bey (aka The Artist Formerly Known As Mos Def). ā€œMash-upā€ is an outdated term that just doesn’t do justice to the skill and complexity that goes in to Amerigo’s work. This new volume targets more of Marvin’s overlooked accomplishments as a producer and interweaves them with Bey’s tangled raps. The genius of these collaborations comes to bear on tracks like ā€œB is For Beefā€ which seemingly has the two musicians in conversation. ā€œSex, Love & Moneyā€, ā€œAnna’s Love Songā€ and ā€œA Message To The Peopleā€ are all prime examples of the technical prowess mood matching that makes these albums special. Other standouts include appearances from The Temptations, Chuck Berry and Talib Kweli to name a few. Putting these two artists into an impossible collaboration that works so seamlessly as to feel like a proper production in it’s own right sets Amerigo well above any other mash-up you might find on the interwebs.
