Mos Def Giving Away New Cd For Free

You just have to purchase a $39 t-shirt first. Mos partnered with The Original Music Tee company so when his new cd 'The Ecstatic' is released next month one way to get it is to buy a t-shirt that comes a with a web address and download codes printed on the collar tag.

Mos Def know he need to stop playing, 39 bucks for a teeshirt made by sweat shop kids for 50cents that only worth 5 bucks. I agree with the poster whoever is his marketing team, their asse's need to be fired. should have just asked your fans to buy your damn CD at the regular price, than trying to insult peoples intelligence.

If I didn't consider myself a socially conscious individual and just happened to like the T-shirt and CD, I'd buy the "total package". I fully understand the marketing gimmick of this particular offer, but just like with anything else if I wanted to get it bad enough I'd get it.

On the other hand, for $39.00 if the T-shirt isn't union made in the U.S.A., being the socially conscious person that I am, forget it...even if the CD is good.

Is anybody blogging about PETA tripping over President Obama swatting a fly? I'm no Obama fan, but I might have to holler a@ PETA over this one. 757-622-7382. Notice their area code is in the same state that Michael Vick is from.

*back to Mos Def*

He's been dippin' and dabbin' in acting for a little while now, so I was really expecting a little more acting and less music from him. Whatever pays the bills, I guess.

bottom line...THE ESTATIC ROCKS...sleep on good music if you want. To those that have been sucked into the dance records and club anthems, grow up and broaden your horizons.. still aint buyin a $39 t-shirt but dont rip the man's art cuz of his marketing plans

Nobody supports Wayne(some people support him but the not the people with sense in their heads) and his ignorance but Mos Def needs to keep it real in this recession.Who has $40 dollars to give these folk in the entertainment industry?If they are hurting for dollars, the average person is feeling the pain in a real way and they need to relize that we (sane responsible people)don't have money to waste on foolishness.I'm sorry Mos, but I can't help you dude with your cause.

Sorry for the typo!Correction:realize

If it was $10.00 for the CD & T shirt combo some people still wouldn't buy it, simply because he is way too deep for their narrow minds.

This is worst than the LotusFlower bullshit zprice tried to pull.....Us regular folk are expericing the recession a little bit more than these fools.
