Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) & Mannie Fresh Team Up For Joint Project “OMFGOD”

    Yasiin Bey (f/k/a Mos Def) is joining forces with Mannie Fresh for a new project titled OMFGOD.

    OMFGODbknola.com is the website dedicated to the project, and it highlights the connection between Brooklyn’s Bey and New Orleans’ Mannie Fresh.

    So far, two clips of the emcee and producer working together in the studio have emerged.

    The first clip includes footage of Bey and Mannie vibing out to some of the latter’s production, with the former recording a verse:

    In the second clip, an interview from 2007 is included in which Yasiin Bey exlained why he wanted to work with Mannie Fresh. “I’ve always been a big fan of Mannie Fresh because I think his sound represents a modern version of that New Orleans Brass thing. …I think it’s kind of genius.”

    1. I’m already a fan. This is the kind of things I like to see happening. A dope producer and a dope MC. Very original collaboration.

    2. i wouldn’t have ever imagined these two together, but man i’m glad they can get togeher and make it happen…

    3. it ain gon be horrible because mannie gonna have to bring his best for mos’ lyrics thats whats gonna make it hot because mannie gotta few hot beats out there ima say he better wit out cash money

    4. g shit, this’ll come out rite before his collab wit jay elec and spitta… lol yea nice vision but i doubt this will ever see market

    5. Its alright, but they need to get Lex Luger to do the beats – now that would be a killer collaboration, Mannie Fresh is washed up, Lex Luger and T-Minus are the best producers in the rap game right now.

      1. he a junkie? what he addicted to? does he even smoke weed? and how do u know he got 8 kids or if he even c them? u sound bitter, get off dat haterade.

    6. I like it. Two humble, mature, intelligent grown men coming together for a collab nobody saw coming. This should be funky as hell.

    7. Mos Def is just an old nigga from New York. yeah, New York. we hate New York. Lil Wayne hates it, so we hate it too. and Mannie is an unloyal bitch. boing beats. we dont need u anymore old niggas. YMCMB we da best. swag

      1. the So Icy Fag strikes again. Get off Waynes dick u bitch. MOS DEF= REAL RAP MUSIC, not that candy rap shit lil kids and girls listen to.
        SO ICY FAG IS JUST ANOTHER BITCH NIGGSA WHO FOLLOWS THE CROWD OR WHATEVER TREND THEY PUT OUT THERE, JUST LIKE A SHEEP HE CANT THINK FOR HIMSELF.
        YOU THE TRU MEANING OF BITCH NIGGA LOL

    8. these are two highly sklled artist who do it for the love of the music (moement). hip hop aint regional its worldwide..

    9. Lil Wayne.. sucked juve’s dick to learn how to flow,tongue kissed Baby or front money, ate Drake’s ass to learn how to sing/rap,..Now he wants some skater dick until he coghs up blood, no gang…

    10. AFTER DEPARTURE FROM CASH MONEY, MANNIE FRESH LITTLE BIT FELL OFF, BUT HE IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST HIP HOP PRODUCERS EVER…

      BUT ONLY THING I DON’T GET IS WHY IS HE WASTING TIME WITH THAT FLOP BOY, MOS DEF IS WACK AND MANNIE DESERVES BETTER MCS TO HOP ON HIS BEATS

      1. Da fuk u talkin about nigga? Mos def is years ahead of mannie. Did Mannie hav one track on Illmatic any of biggie shit or any of the time tested all time clasics? No.
        Dumb ass nigga takin out ya ass, Dont know shit about hip hop

      2. lol and Mos Def aint a Mc stupid ass nigga, yeah hes dropped a few verses in the past for fun but he is a Producer. Him and Premo a much much more talented and known producer than mannie will ever be.
        Dont get me wrong I do like mannie and he is good but not better than Mos Def.
        U make me laugh nigga.

      3. (puts foot in mouth) Shit sorry YEBO, smokin on on too much off this good im not even thinking straight LOL. Harlem is right, yeah im mixin up the two (dunno how) like I said im too fucked up right now. Mos def aint all that bad of an Mc tho

      4. Ha good think I said something before you went any further with that rant homie. I agree Mos Def aint all that bad, Mathamatics is straight dope.

      5. CLASSICS? ALL CASH MONEY ALBUMS HE WAS ON, TRILLA, GUCCI MANE’S ALBUM, BUN B’S TRILL, UGK, TIP ALBUMS, YOUNG JEEZY’S DEBUT ALBUM, ALL CLASSICS, YOU DUMBASSES. I RESPECT ILLMATIC, BUT IT WAS A YEARS BEFORE MANNIE FRESH WAS RELEVANT AS A PRODUCER… AND BIGGIE’S SHIT IS WACK SO IT AIN’T EVEN IMPORTANT HE WASN’T ON THAT.

        I’M PRETTY SURE IF BIGGIE WAS ALIVE, HE WOULD WORK WITH MANNIE FRESH, LEX LUGER, DRUMMA BOY, THE RUNNERS AND NOT PEOPLE LIKE DJ “POP” PREMIER WHOSE BEATS SOUNDS ALL THE SAME AND LIKE THEY WERE MADE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. DJ PREMIER IS JOELL ORTIZ OF PRODUCING – ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL TIME (IF NOT THE WORST).

        I’M SORRY, BUT THESE GUYS LIKE PREMIER OR MOS DEF ARE KILLING THE REAL HIP HOP, WHY YOU GIVE THEM RESPECT.

      6. KILL YO SELF , GO BACK TO YOUR GAY PORN SIGHT AND STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW CAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MUSIC FOR REAL. THEN ALL YOU TALK ABOUT IS WHO’S WACK. YOU HAVEN’T STATED ANYBODY WITH THE SAME LONGEVITY THAT’S BETTER BUT YET YOUR THE BIGGEST CRITIC. DO SOME HISTORY AND TAKE YOUR HOSTILE ASS SOMEWHERE AND MEDITATE . CAUSE YOUR ALLERGIC TO MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE…

    11. Man all u dumb fucks with negative shit to say about Mos Def or Mannie Fresh need to just fuckin kill over… Mos Def is a poet, period. His flow is respected by all from Common to Jay-Z.. I bet your favorite rapper wouldn’t know a metaphor or simile even if he had a fuckin thesaurus. And his movie game ain’t gimmicked either How many of your favorite rapper/actors can actually act? Mos Def played various characters flawlessly. As far as Mannie Fresh go, he’s the Dr. Dre of the south period. Who you think BIRTH THE SNARE ROLL IN HIP-HOP USED BY EVERY ONE FROM DRUMMA BOY, LEX LUGER, TO SOUNDCLICK’S GOLDENBOY JOHNNY JULIANO. In fact, There would be no YMCMB without the ONLY PRODUCER ON THE LABEL… WHO SINGLE-HANDEDLY PRODUCED 95% OF CASH MONEY RECORDS DISCOGRAPHY INCLUDING THE CARTER 1 (WAYNE’S SWAN SONG) I dare anyone to challenge my post. Respect their ledgend.. Str8 outta Youngstown,Ohio . tell em Don Kody said it.

      1. Manny made them niggas like you said fam,you know how many albums he did almost all of the production from B.G. Choppa City up until Carter 1 look at the cash money discography and you’ll understand. Only album he didn’t soley produce was Baller Blockin and he had a bass player that was funky too.

    12. HAHAHA! This shit will be a BIG FLOP! Yasiin Gay aka Mos Def aka Old ass nigga aint even good, his shit dont got a single fuckin meaning! plus hes BORING! and fuck Mannie with his disloyal ass! He lefts us and we built YMCMB by ourselves. Wayne will KILL these niggas A$AP! Weezy is KIGN of HIP HOP!

      YMCMB!

      1. “we built YMCMB by ourselves”
        and who built everybodies career on cash money with his production and sound???
        No mannie > no cash money > no YMCMB

      2. Who the fuck is doing this tired ass shit??? Every article, song or whatever on here has a bunch of these fucking clowns doing this shit. With they lame as puns, from Laughterhouse, to Gay-Z, Yasiin Gay, Gayme..etc

        OK, so you like Cash Money, go listen to them and shut the fuck up already. If you dont have anything relevant to contribute than go put a cock in your mouth and keep quiet already.

    13. Fuck Mannie Fresh’s repetitive beats and Mos Def’s annoying voice. This neega should stick to acting.

    14. im glad lil wayne went on to skateboarding…cuz his shit is garbage right now..no one from young money is pulling dope material..i like young money, but there garbage right now..g.o.o.d music is hot right now..young money time has passed..and to all the haters, mos def is a hiphop legend..not a garbage ass comercial ass rapper like gayne i mean wayne

    15. Look at Yasiin Gay lookin like a total fag. Only a fruitcake would rock such a faggety ass beard like that. C’mon son! You will never catch Weezy F. Baby rockin that gay ass shit. And for the fuckers sayin im “trolling” FUCK YOU. I speak the truth. YMCMB be winnign. Y U MAD?

      YMCMB!

    16. why can’t we all get along u negative shitfuks
      this is an unexpected surprise
      that’s what’s so cool about it
      maybe some of mannies fans will finally get turned on to bey and vice versa
      im a mos def fan
      i had to look up mannie to see who he was to tell the truth but that makes since cuz i aint vibe to all that cash money stuff but i still ain’t hatin

    17. More of this type shit is needed in hip hop hell if they can hybrid air jordans and make spizikes we can hybrid hip hop also

    18. This is music. Music is a universal language that is suppose to unite. As for Yasiin Bey, he signifies masculine energy, with the prefect balance of feminine energy. Yin/Yang. We all possess both. I appreciate his artistry and ginuiness. Great collabo.
