I like your song choice, it has a retro feel to it but doesn't sound "outdated"!

This has a bit more of a laid back Saturday or Sunday feel to it which I think has the perfect weekend-nostalgia feeling needed on a Monday.

I like not only Mos Def's music but also his lyrics, which tend to stay true to the old school prose style of hip-hop vs the modern machine-gun random word rhyming.

The sometimes opinionated lyrics, can open up your mind to someone else's perspective. Allowing you to better understand where they're coming from and hopefully change your perception of them or their views. And it tends to does so without a lot of the violence and crime aspect.
