"He's a beast," Jones said of Leslie. "I keep telling people he remind me of Prince. He's a talented, talented individual. He's got his own style to him."
Also on the album will be a track featuring Ludacris that seemed to happen by accident. "Oh that was a funny one," Jones said. "I'm in the studio recording a song and Luda happens to get off on the wrong floor inside of Quad [Studios]. He comes in like, 'Yo whose beat is this?'"
Ludacris liked it so much that he decided he had to drop something on it. "How could you tell somebody who sold so many records what he can't get on? So I just let him go in the booth and he went stupid in there....That was historic in its own right. That was [a] gift," Jones exclaimed.
In addition, the late Stack Bundles will be on the album to which Jones commented, "[He was] a very dear friend of mine, more like a brother from another mother...More talented than most people that I've ever met in my life. Brilliant, handsome, charming, hustler, stood on his own two. He reminded me a lot of myself when I was coming up."
Mos Def's last offering, "Tru3 Magic", sold only 93,000 copies in the US, however his 2004 album, "The New Danger" had sold over 484,000 copies.
In other Mos Def news, the rapper will be getting some great acting exposure as he plays Chuck Berry in the film "Cadillac Records," due Dec. 5 in U.S. theaters.

Ye-yo + Jim Jones = Ca-Ca
mosdef is mos-underrated rapper ever!!! this nigga is raw, damn right im gonna cop that shit.
i slightly disagree wit you on this one joe. dont get me wrong nos sick than a muthafucka, but most underrated goes to his tag team partner, kweli. mos i think is a close second though.
luda!
ONly clicked on this to read about Mos Def...
Mos Def is a little strange in his appearance and what not....but the dude has got madd fucking lyrics
Hope his new album is something worth putting on repeat
And look at Jim Jones in that picture...trying to look like a model or something...someone needs to slap that nigga no doubt
Like jim he makes money n shit but he's weak, wht a waste of a record deal
Like jim he makes money n shit but he's weak, wht a waste of a record deal

Jim jones haven't proved shit since he been in the game, fuckin one-hit-wonder if you ask me. I'm sure Cam' is look good riddance weak ass mother fucker, and take those Byrd Gang bitches with you...

one hit wonder???
this dude's albums get progressively better each time...
he got three SOLID ass albums under his belt kid...wtf are you talking about?
Music is not always about being lyrical, its about making music that people can relate to...and jim does that...(unless you can't relate to the "street life" then his music is not for you)
fuck u niggers, trash my comment, we black folks need to recoup asap. we got niggers and niggas
That's an interesting one... Jim jones & Tony yayo....lol
ahhhh shit well tony my squeeze jim jones when it comes to rapping! They both sound like they can't catch the beat some times, they rap faster then the beat....lol i just like jims hustle and his business mind but rapping forget it and yayo???......
Joe211, what the fuck are you even talkin about? Why are you posting these pointless comments on every article without at least explaining what you're babbeling about? If you have a point than say it cause that self righteous, nigger vs nigga shit doesn't even make any sense.
yeah cause everybody knows its nigga vs. black people. im on the black people side. which side are you on.
Yea aight all yall niggas on here talkin shit bout jones.Why hate? jones is one of the most realest niggas in the game.. If yu CANT RELATE TO HIS MUSIK DONT HATE!!!! He only spit real hood shit...so if yu aint no hood nigga then yu aiont gonna like his musik... n homeboi yur fukkin brazy if yu think luda is fukkin wit jimmy real talk son
It ain't even about being able 2 relate 2 him, he just ain't got no skills. His delivery is weak, his voice is annoying & his lyrics are elementery. He's on some hood shit but that don't make him talented. Shit, Gucci Mane's as hood as it get's but he ain't got no skills. Luda's a MONSTER & Mos Def is a lyrical genius so you callin him ass just shows how UN-important your input is on anything that has 2 do with hip-hop.
@blood you cant possibly think jenny can fuck wit luda.
MOS DEF IS ASS
wow you dont know shit bout hip hop, but ur entitled to ur opinion
jim jones is the future...that was a quote from dame dash..lol...lol..yeah right..jim jones fucking sucks just as bad dj khaled!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'll cop the album just cuz that nigga stack bundles mad respect for that nigz R.I.P. G'z
this shit is funny y do u niggas open da blog jus 2 hate da nigga dey talkin bout?.....(wg) kill urself
quit dick ridin jones and admit hes a gay rapper
Jim Jones is actually da second worse rapper, his boy Freaky Zeeky is da first. "FREaKY!"

Man, Who's gonna buy this album? I know I wouldn't!! Jim is only famous cos of the dipset. Then he got famous coz Jay-Z responded to his diss on Brooklyn High. Then he tried to same formula on Nas and T.I. And he's claiming this "Jim Jones" look, which white boys have been dressing up like that for decades. What a dumbass, only reason people might get his album is because Hardcore Luda fans might get it cos Luda's on it. 1
Did someone say Jim Jones? Booooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
jim jones knows he fallen off. i reckon as easy az he did tho he can come back. everyones copyed his swag n they cant say they aint, wayne ti for example.
