This was a surprisingly dope album. I wasn't expecting much since I thought his previous album was garbage and I thought he wasn't focused on music but ecstatic was incredible. This and black on both sides are two of my all time favorites and albums I'm sure I will be playing years from now, his music has a lot of replay value. The new danger is dope also, it took me a while to get into it but there's some bangers on there

Dope album indeed. I copped it without much expectation but was pleasantly surprised.
The trouble is that Mos is too busy acting I think so I won't be expecting an album anytime soon.
He's putting out some random shyt online though. This parody of 'nikkaz in paris' was quite thought provoking.....

Fvcking dope album.
People lose their sh1t over Lupe's lyrics yet somehow this album
was overlooked.

The production and Lyricism was/is off the charts.

I also enjoyed The New Danger which seems to get overlooked too.

Mos is busy with all his other endeavors. If its an artist that we need more music from its him. Solo, Black Star, or otherwise. (really got me hype for that Aretha Franklin and Manny Fresh collab) :sadbron:

The New Danger is an album that I think kinda threw people off coming 5 years after Black On Both Sides. TND is an album that gets better and better after each listen. :lawd:

oh, sorry, topic was about Ecstatic....yeah, dope. lol.

:ehh: Along with OB4CL2, Slaughterhouse's debut, So Far Gone, Relapse,and Boy Meets World, The Ecstatic got mad spins from me that year. I think it's Mos's best album after BOBS
