Black Star

"Black Star," The New Yorker, December 5, 2011

Mos Def and Talib Kweli formed Black Star in the late 90's as a response to gangsta rap. They are currently on tour and will be at New York's Best Buy theater on December 3rd.

Here they are performing "History":

 

Hey- Myrtle and Clermont! Good ol' Fort Greene.

I just read that Mos Def is changing his name to Yasiin. He'll always be Ford Prefect to me...

Thanks, Nicholas!
