Current TV: Embedded with Mos Def

by Staff, October 15, 2009

On this special hour-long Embedded, Mos Def takes us on an all-access seven-day tour of Japan while he performs his new album “The Ecstatic”, to packed venues in Tokyo and Osaka. During that week, he hits up the Harajuku fashion district, whoops it up at a sumo wrestling match, and gets a personal tour of the Tokyo Giants stadium from his friend and baseball phenom Mark Kroon. Then, he brilliantly ties it all together by divulging the history of great thinkers known as “ecstatics,” showing that he is clearly one of the most insightful men in Hip-Hop.

    re:

    yo im a huge fan of mos def music since the days of black star.

    I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed, and i could be totally off. but the more i watched the interview, paticularly when hes by himself, i got a serious gay vibe. lol

    being in touch with your feminine side is cool and all but it seemed a little off.

    maybe a gay dude on here could tell us. lol no offense to anybody. one love
