Officer Ricky starts this video out like most Rick Ross videos, by rapping next to a fancy car.  And yes, his verse leaves a lot left to be desired (perhaps another rapper?).  But don’t worry, things get a little interesting once he picks Erykah up.  For starters, she’s wearing a Rick James wig.

On a side note, I hope Erykah doesn’t have a baby with Rick Ross now.

Remember when the teaser video for this dropped ages ago?  Well, the full version has finally been leaked.  

Aside from Mos Def, Ski Beatz got the relatively unknown Brooklyn emcee Whosane to spit a verse towards the end of the song.  I feel kinda bad for the dude, but how are you gonna try to go after Mos Def on one of the best beats he’s touched in ages?   Shiiiiiittt…  Homie’s verse ain’t that bad, but this is Mos’ song.  

Stream/download and enjoy the hell out of this song, and don’t forget that Ski Beatz drops the full length 24 Hour Karate School project on March 30th.

This came out a couple of weeks ago, but I still can’t find the mp3 for you guys.  I have resigned to just posting this video, cuz the song is so nice. 

Creative Control is Dame Dash’s recently launched online video network.  This brief clip documents Mos and Ski Beatz working in the DD172 studio.  Ski Beatz is probably best known for producing four tracks on Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt album, ”Dead Presidents,” “22 Two’s,” “Politics as Usual,” and “Feelin’ It.”  DD172 is Dame Dash’s new Lower Manhattan art and music complex.  It’s where the Black Keys and several of the MCs worked on the Blakroc album and where Erykah Badu recently held a listening party for her upcoming, much-anticipated album, New Amerykah Pt II:  Return of the Ankh.  Big things are going down at DD172.
