Magnetic: Mos Def News

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 & Talib live at the Current TV launch party
• Brown Sugar (Extra Sweet) feat. Faith Evans – (QuickTime)
• Ghetto Rock – (QuickTime)

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:

More Mos Def & Breed Love Odyssey crew photo love from mskyra.

The rumors of Mos focusing on his acting must be true, because he reminds us:

I wonder what the guys over at Hip Hop Blogs think of Mos wearing this shirt.

mskyra from over at the MosDefinitely forums has posted some seriously raw photos of Mos Def and the rest of the Breed Love Crew (sans Talib Kweli, who was not at the show) from last night’s tour stop in San Francisco.

She promises more photos from tonight’s show in Santa Cruz, so keep it locked…

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:

It’s all one track/file, but the song list as far as I can tell is:

New song/Freestyle? -> Habitat -> Mathematics -> Freestyle -> Beef
