Just scanning the blogs for Mos Def bits, as I’ve done before, and this time I turn up an angry track by Immortal Technique that features Mos Def in the chorus on Violette’s MP3 blog.
No, the irony of this song appearing on a site with flowers in its logo is not lost on me.

The article I linked to in the previous post about Mos calling out Suge Knight at a Breed Love Tour stop last week didn’t tell the whole story. It didn’t tell how defiant and angry Mos sounded. No need for me to try to describe it any more. Check out the video to see what Mos said to Suge yourself.

Are you old enough to remember “Friday Night Videos?”
This self-explanatory television show was around before there was this Internet thing and seemingly before there was MTV. (See that round thing in the image? That’s a record, not a CD.)
So, since MTV sucks now and we do have the Internet, I’m bringing FNV back for 2005… Mos Def-style, of course.

Mos Def & Talib Kweli still create great music together. They proved this again last night for the world to see on Jimmy Kimmel’s Live Concert Series. The duo performed Supreme Supreme, a track off of Talib’s upcoming album on which Mos is a guest. Talib sounds a little hoarse, but Mos is right on time and the track is hot.
If you missed the live performance, have no fear. The internet is here:

Some people have reported problems with the downloads on this site. If you experience problems, please provide details in the comments for this post. Thanks.

Almost ten full minutes of Mos Def spitting rhymes live and direct at Deal Real Records in London. Straight from the soundboard, so the quality is crispy:
Stream it (via) | Download it
It’s all one track/file, but the song list as far as I can tell is:
New song/Freestyle? -> Habitat -> Mathematics -> Freestyle -> Beef
Also check out these videos of Mos Def at Deal Real.
