Even with the distracting hipster-stache

Alright Paskalev, it's time for you and your record company to stop teasing the world and put out the album. If you've gotten this much exposure with basically one song on the market, you can bet they have plans. And this little live clip has me speculating that the plans are big. The girl in the background clapping gives this tune a whole new dimension.

Bring on the album asap.

My favorite rapper

I have a crush on Mos Def.

While everyone else was copying the thug look, Mos was expressing own his unique style.

But he's not just style, he's a true artist - one of the best lyricist around. 

Mos Def - Umi Says - Black on Both Sides

Mos Def - Quiet Dog Bite Hard - The Ecstatic

I'm very saddened by the lost of our Beastie Boy, Adam Yauch. He was not only a rapper of lore, he was also a really great human being. I respected what he evolved into as an adult and the message he put forth in his music. You will be much missed Adam!
