Urban Thermo Dynamics – Manifest Destiny

According to director Daniel Hastings, this is Mos Def’s first video appearance. How many of y’all would have guessed Body Rock?

Anyone have a copy of the Loud ’97 “Set Up Tape” this song is from?

The duo of Mos Def & Talib Kweli, also known as Black Star, will be performing live later this month in NYC. A lot of cats will disagree with me but I thought their self-titled album was the pinnacle of both their musical careers. I was disappointed with the follow-ups: “Black on Both Sides” and the Reflection Eternal album. Who agrees? link for 7pm show, link for 11:30pm show
