I just want to say that Mos Def is one of my favorite people, and one of my favorite thinkers and speakers, so its a special pleasure to post some of his videos.
Mos Def is a renaissance man, he performs and is able to articulate his expression with such depth in almost every capacity imaginable. Acting, spoken word, theater, fashion, social & political activist, a debater are amongst his many talents and designations. As a Muslim, many Islamic ideals, practices and morals intersect in his work and many times are shown through his character and his involvement with most prominent topics to our community. I am an absolute hip hop fan and am always fascinated with the work and subjects Mos Def speaks on and works with.
