Top 50 Songs of 1999: # 4 Mos Def “Ms Fat Booty” Easily one of the highlights on “Black on Both Sides”, Mos tells an intriguing story about how he was initially dismissed by a woman, who later was down to talk to him when she found out that he was “somebody”. Mos eventually fell in love with this woman who was a stripper and she ends up dissing him because in the end because she doesn’t want to be committed to anyone. This song is produced by Ayatollah and he masterfully sampled several parts of Aretha Franklin's "One Step Ahead". This is an addictive beat and that went with more of a traditional NY sound (not digital) and it bangs! Mos Def’s lyrical ability is top notch and his story telling ability is top notch! This is how you make an uncompromising single and stay true to your sound. #MosDef #MsFatBooty #Ayatollah #ArethaFranklin #BlackStar
