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.

It was cool to be so plain in a good way
It’s nice to sit back and be a fan of some solid work from two accomplished emcees. Much appreciated. This is a small piece of the Hip Hop I am a family member of. One Love…
Watching Videos like this really brings hope… Hip Hop still lives
BLACKSTAR! this track is classic… classic emcees and a dope video… much love
SO DOPE! AH
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

Nothing more to say… My dude P-Soul said it all… the sight, speech and utter of hip-hop in its purist form can bring me to tears at any point and anytime… Rest in Beats to dilla and long live BK’s ambassadors, BlackStarr……..
History then and Now…Black Star for ever-ness, for ever Fresh. History.
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.
Solid… the video makes you like the jam even more…
PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s my jam- BLACKSTAR KEEP SHININ’
SOOOO CRAZYYY!!! BLACKSTAR
much love to both mos def and talib kweli i love you both…..BUT this track os nothing without dilla’s beat!!!! THANK YOU JAY DEE DILLA DAWG!!!!!! REAT IN BEATS, AND KEEP THE DONUTS COMING
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.
FAMOSO “EXHIBIT HIP HOP” http://lnk.ms/5Vs1x
i always do a double take if legit hip hop is on tv nowadays
Freedom’S MANIFESTO CARRIED ON THE WINGS ON TRUTH…………… LOVE BEGETS KNOWLEDGE. GOD=LOVE
This has been rotating for months in Copenhagen! Peace & Love
all the rest should go home!
I love mos def and talib kweli but this isnt hitting like that. Mos Def could have came better.
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
DONTCALLITACOMEBACK!!! Mos Def’s 2nd verse…….whew!!
