  • THE ZRO HOUR S06E12- MOS DEF: Def Poet

    03/02/2010 Duration: 01h14min

    THE ZRO HOUR is back with a new episode devoted to one of the most diverse artists in hip hop, MOS DEF. Mos Def is an amazingly gifted emcee, poet, actor and musician. Be it the broadway stage, silver screen, recording studio or smoky club, Mos has always challenged expectations with his craft. His lyrics are laced with wit, insight and an outspoken candor. Mos Def can be bohemian and hood at the same time. He has collaborated with many of his idols and peers and their reverence for his lyricism is duly noted. I have selected some of his best solo tracks as well as some of the hottest collabos and freestyles. One selection of note is his live performance of "Quiet Dog", a song featured on his current CD "THE ECSTATIC". The live set was taken from a recent "Late Night with David Letterman" where Mos played the kettle drums and rapped simultaneously, never losing the beat. Mos' film and television roles showcase his confident acting ability. He makes you forget that this is the same "true school" artist that
