Lyricist Lounge had a reunion show? Dope! But my question is this: where is that album at? Regardless, get to see what the duo has been up to. Not separate, but together.

Yasiin Bey x Mannie Fresh – BTS in the Studio
I wonder what this will transform into? I don’t know. Sounded a little promising. Mos Def on some “hard” production? Yeah, I want to see what it transforms into.

Louis Vuitton x Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) – Muhammad Ali Dedication
Well, this is interesting enough. Mos Def in a Louis Vuitton commercial? But it works. No product placement (that I see), Mos dancing around the ring reciting Ali lines, and an artist (Niels Shoe Meulman) painting the ring with his “Calligraffiti”. I can’t even hate.

Mos Def x Brooklyn Philharmonic = Hard In The Paint?
Well, this was practice for a free performance that happened at the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Park. Mos Def rocking over some Waka Flocka Flame? I’ll take that. I love Hard In The Paint. So, I can get with this.

Mos Def (Yaiisin Bey) – Niggas in Poorest
You want those cheers about materialism and gaudiness? Well, if that’s what you want, then don’t listen to Mos Def. Taking a page from his “Rape Over” classic (yes, classic), he goes the exposure route once again. Just listen to the words and realize that some of us aren’t total vanity slaves.

Mos Def and Talib Kweli…peform…..their new song?
That’s right. They took the time out to perform their new song on the Colbert Report. Yes, it is a dope song. Yes, they are dressed like they are in the 50′or 60′s. Yes, it actually works on them. No, they aren’t wack. So, don’t ask any unnecessary questions. Just enjoy the music.

Mos Def Is Changing His Name For No Good Reason
Effective in 2012, Mos Def wants you to call him Yasiim. Huh? But why? He says Mos Def is his street name and he’s over with that chapter of his life. Is this the worst idea ever? I guess this is what hip-hop is all about. Stupid name changes. Does Sean Combs ring a bell? Head on over to Daps.tv for the full article!
My Umi said change my fucking name to some Islam shit

Kendrick Lamar- HiiPower performance and tribute from The Game (Hollywood Music Box)
Good grief, is that an all star cast on that stage just to support Kendrick? There is nothing but hip hop legends and masterminds supporting this guy right now. Even Game had to give the young man a shout out. Then again, Kendrick is on Game’s album spitting extra hard on the first song. I’m just hoping Kendrick sells multiple copies of Section 80. Get that independent money, sir!

Blackstar – Untitled (A Madlib Invazion)
Seriously.....some of my favorite rappers just don't work to appease their following. Not saying they should, but dang.......
Unannounced Facebook treat coming from Mos Def. Sad part is that it is just a snippet. However, if I would have gotten to hear Kweli rip the verse, then that would have settled things. Still wondering why these cats have not found the true time to get back together and make another classic. Beats the hell outta me like it beats the hell outta everyone else. *sigh*
