Video: Mos Def "History" feat. Talib Kweli

Posted by Shamz on Jan 04, 2010



We saw the teaser, and now we have the full video for Mos Def's "History" featuring Talib Kweli and produced by J Dilla. Take a glimpse at the history of Black Star in Brooklyn NY, with Mos' latest vid. Mos has been going with the "less is more" concept with a lot of his recent videos, and I think it's working just perfectly. The Ecstatic is in stores now.

This dude below me is on glue...this Dilla beat sends chills down my spine and anytime Mos and Kweli work together you should open your ears and pay homage, the video tops it off for me...CLASSIC

Wow! I can't believe it's been over 10 years since BlackStar first dropped. I still bump that album like it came out yesterday. Some music is just timeless.

Got the chills......I guess BlackStar will come out when it's the right time. I'm disappointed at myself for not coppin' the Ecstatic album. Good job fellas. J Dilla is eternal.

btw. adding to fresh lyrics and music, peep my version of Exhibit C by Jay Electronica and Just Blaze. No diss so you internet nerds can't start anything. Just adding my flavor to it since it's so much conversation
