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.

Thanks to the folks over at the ill new Hip-Hop Spot Forums, there’s going to be a lot more video love coming over the Magnetic pipes from now on.
First installment is a home video of Mos performing Boogie Man at the Black August benefit show at BB Kings in August. You’ll have to deal with some people talking around the guy taking this video, but it’s worth it for this intimate look at Mos rockin’ the mic on stage.
Black August is an annual hip-hop benefit concert designed to raise awareness of civil rights and other social issues important to the Hip-Hop Community.
