Mos Def, a rapper not on the tip of most tongues when discussing battles between crews, cities, or coasts, called out Suge Knight during his Breed Love set on Thursday, according to an article on Calendarlive.com.
...Mos Def took a jab at Marion “Suge” Knight, the controversial head of Death Row Records. The svelte and far-from-intimidating rapper said he was looking for Knight and wanted to know “who shot my man?”
This isn’t the first time Mos has publically pointed the finger at Knight and tried to jumpstart the questioning of what happened to Tupac and other fallen rappers. At a show in Los Angeles this summer, Mos apparently sang, “Tell them who shot my man, Suge. Tell them who shot my man, Suge. Who shot Biggie, Pac and Jam Master Jay?”
I’m sure Mos has his reasons for wanting to do this, but Suge doesn’t exactly have a peaceful past or much of a tolerance for slights. Let’s hope these tirades by Mos ends up with long-sought answers behind the murders of B.I.G. and Tupac coming to the surface and not with another bloody chapter in the “rap wars.”

I felt Mos Def back in ‘99 but now he’s just an acting chump!
Does he think he’s keeping it gangsta by pointing the finger at Suge??
He should stick to his weak acting and leave Suge alone or else he may find himself in a bodybag!
I can’t stand these commercial, pissy-ass rappers who sell out and then try to rebuild a hardcore persona.
Weak.
