	Def Jef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Def Jef (born Jeffrey Forster) is an American alternative hip hop artist and rapper of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
		He was unable to live up to the expectations for his second album, however, and Soul Food, was a critical and commercial failure.
		Def Jef moved into production, working with Nas, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur, among others, as well as appearing in films like Deep Cover in 1992 (see 1992 in film).

	Def Jef - Soul Food / Funkytown Pros - Reachin' A Level Of Assassination - Oh Word
		Jef’s derivative style actually works in his favor; his flattering imitations sound unforced as he eschews distinctiveness or daringness in favor of skillful lucidity.
		, Jef uses his newly vainglorious vocalism to speak urgently but soberly upon racial politics over self-produced, mid-tempo jeep beats on the optimistic “Voice of a New Generation” and the incendiary “God Complex.” His sinewy rhyme patterns are tightly constructed and seldom devolve into digression.
		Which of course, it was; Jef is a populist whose concern for his audience grounds his music in sometimes constraining accessibility.

	Davey D's Hip-Hop Corner: The New Source For The Hip-Hop Generation
		For those who aren't familiar with Def Jef, back in the late 80s early 90s he was considered to be one of Hip Hop's more positive and culturally enlightened artists.
		Jef was in disbelief from that statement as another African American gentleman walked in and asked to be seated.
		Jef thanked him but told him he thought it was unfair for Houston's to have a dress code policy on hats..

		Raised in Harlem and the Bronx, Def Jef is a talented rapper who hung out in the same neighborhoods that gave us Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow and the Treacherous Three and was exposed to their music at an early age.
		When he moved to Los Angeles and signed with Delicious Vinyl in the late 1980s, the influence of hip-hop's old school remained.
		Jef's debut album, Just a Poet With Soul, wasn't as big a seller as the albums Young MC and Tone Loc had recorded for Delicious, but j… Read More »

	TrouserPress.com :: Def Jef
		Articulate and clear-spoken, with varied, warm soul-funk tracks that layer percussion and samples over bouncing bass and drums, fast-talking California rapper Def Jef (Fortson) makes a fine first showing on the largely self-produced Just a Poet With Soul.
		But egotism is its own reward, and Jef's endless boasts about his rhyming skill make the first side and most of the flip a lyrical snore.
		Only the Afrocentric "Black to the Future" (biting the Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle") and the urban tableau of "Downtown" break the mold, demonstrating the kind of material that should be the rule — not the exception — next time.

		Mos Def and Talib Kweli's 1998 Black Star did much to contribute to this evolution, with its return to Native Tongues-style old school hip hop.
		Mos Def's solo debut, Black on Both Sides (1999), quickly established him as a darling of alternative media for its incendiary politics, while Kweli's solo career took some time to get off the ground; as he didn't appear until 2000's Reflection Eternal, with partner Hi-Tek.

	Just a Poet With a Soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Just a Poet With a Soul is the debut alternative hip hop album by Def Jef, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music), released on Delicious Vinyl.
		The album was highly praised upon its first release, with critics enjoying the sociopolitical lyrics that have led some to Def Jef along with De La Soul and other members of the Native Tongues Posse, though he was never a part of the crew.
		Many have called the album a lost classic of hip hop.

		Jef is at his most interesting on the excellent sociopolitical offerings "Black to the Future" and "Downtown," both of which make us wish he devoted more time to message songs and less time to boasting lyrics.

		The Dust Bro's serve up a few good beats, but there's mostly wasted on Def Jef's vocal stylings, that closely resemble Kool Moe Dee or Gerardo.
		Mostly it's about boasting with a little bit of afrocentricism thrown in to serve the flavor of the month, which at the time was the Africa medallions.
		Also, it tends to hold up in time due in part to the backbone of the original material, but also, they take their foolishness seriously and it works.

		While the original "Waxing Off" contains "Mentirosa" by Mellow Man Ace and the outstanding "Bonafide Funk" by Brand New Heavies feat.
		Main Source, this version replaces those songs with "Know How" by Young MC and "Cali's All That" by Def Jef.
		I suppose if you're looking for either of those particular tracks, this would be a good purchase, but for a better overall album, go for the original "Waxing Off" compilation.
