Blakroc

"On The Vista" ft. Mos Def

November 17, 2009 10:10 a.m. by Andrew Martin

Blakroc, the collaborative effort between the Black Keys and various MCs, such as Mos Def and Raekwon, hits stores on Nov. 27 (Black Friday). "On the Vista" is the latest leak from this project, and it's a nice means of smoothing out what we have heard so far. We first heard Mos and Jim Jones on the above-average "Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)." Then, Rae raised our expectations with "Stay Off The F*%$#n’ Flowers."

 

Now, Mos returns with some actual bars on "On the Vista" as he raps over squealing guitars, which are much more Queens of the Stone Age than the Black Keys. For the song's second half, he busts out some mumble-singing -- the stuff you have probably grown to stomach if you listened to The New Danger and True Magic. That being said, "On the Vista" is a nice cut, just nothing mind-blowing.

Surely I'm missing something, but this is in the "MP3s and Videos" section and there doesn't appear to be a link anywhere on the page to listen to the song...

Sorry guys, the label sent Grayzone after us and we had to take it down.
