Mos got shut down by C Hitchens on Bill Maher's show.

[AdriBaby91]

[FOOLfantom]

Mos no one told me about her The way she lied Well, no one told me about her How many people cried Well, it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care Please don't bother trying to find her Shes not there Nobody told me about her What could I do Well, nobody told me about her Though they all knew Well, it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care

[mrnice00]

[alivonal]

I will check that out. I really am not being cynical, I just don't know. Thanks for the heads up! Skins fan huh, from DC? Im from VA!

[osarsour]

yeaaaa dude check out black on both sides, truly a classic album. if ur a fan of music u will like that album. black star is also amazing

[littledudemusic]

you NEED black on both sides and the blackstar album.

[boogiemanmusic]

I know, you said it man. Those 2 albums made history.

[alivonal]

Why is Mos Def considered important? No offense but some of my friends can't stop talking him up. I listened to his albums, good tunes, but nothing particularly impressive. Someone answer please. Am I missing something?

[akathechef]

maybe you dont just have to listen, but you have to understand too

[ProphetVictory]

he is responisible for the greatest verse in music, poetry and general literature: Thieves In The Night. That singlehandedly makes him one of or the most prominent artist of our time.

smh at 'good tunes'.

[turnbugu]

If you appreciate the artistry of this song, you should also check out a song called Story no one told by Shad K. He is a local artist from my town in canada but he will blow up soon hopefully. it is one the most meaningful and beautiful songs ive ever heard, there is a good live version on youtube. let me know what you think, if you don't mind.

[littledudemusic]

could not agree more. . . the blackstar project was profound.

[ninesiximpalaSS]

missing?... maybe a little soul...

[robororo]

i was present at that interview =)

very interesting but before the interview there was a Q&A session with him and students. No offense, but the dude looked mad high.

still interesting nonetheless =P

[rock4ladies]

You don't know wot u talking abt, u need to love music to enjoy it. Then u know he's one of the greatest MC's.

[robororo]

i do kno what Im talking about, i was there.

It doesnt make me respect any less, no way, I was just saying.

But hey, yea he is a great musician and i still enjoy his music and admire him for his talent.

[ooollgaa]

u mean he was on drugs?

[esthnocentriquaville]

You know you wanna rap LOL

[erikborst]

bummer he can't perform at a concert.

[masscommlarry]

what you mean

[dmi32]

he is so intelligent and he seems so real. i hope i get to meet him one day.

[XforeverlongingX]

@dmi32 In what ways is he intelligent?

[throbule]

@XforeverlongingX:

He is intelligent in the way that you are not.

If you can't hear his intelligence, then asking others to explain it is to your detriment and proves your dense thinking.

[MrJs1G]

@throbule

He has a legitimate question. Are you avoiding question because you can't answer it or because it's unanswerable?

[throbule]

@MrJs1G:

I think his question is legitimate, but only in that it relates to his implied inability to discern intelligence in a human being.

So perhaps it is unanswerable.

[MrJs1G]

@throbule

The latter part of my question was rhetorical; so was his entire question. I guess you aren't able to discern that.

Ironic how you accuse him of not being intelligent enough.

[throbule]

@MrJs1G:

Your whole premise would seem to be rhetorical, loaded, as it is, with the bombast and pretentiousness of the intellectually inept.

Nevertheless, I do so admire your impersonation of a mind reader.

[MrJs1G]

@throbule

*Sigh*

The biggest sign of insecurity is that of somebody who flaunts his or her security.

I've already wasted enough of my time writing this sentence for you. Goodbye now.

[throbule]

@MrJs1G:

*Sigh*

The biggest sign of the terminally bored inadequate with delusions of righteousness, is that of somebody who pokes his nose into another's business and doesn't know how to deal with the pain when its quite smartly bitten.

Begone microbe.

[DYNAMICNJ]

"Bust a sketch..."  LOL!

[mosdef115]

[darealwind]

Have to say I kind of miss his style of rhyming from Black On Both Sides/Black Star, but an artist moves forward.

I'm looking forward to the new material!

[direktFF]
