Mos Def

[Tron]

Why? Because I feel like it.

[istewart]

Meh/Bad.

[pshreck]

I'm already shuddering at the accent I hear him using in the Trailers for Hitchhikers GTTG.

[Tron]

I'm expecting the majority to turn out to be Good/Meh

[solid]

Oh how I wish Mos would make more rap songs. No more of this Black Jack Johnson rock crap. Come back Mos!

On a somewhat related note, how tight is the new Common CD?

[jakethebake]

Is this a person? Does he have anything to do with this Matthew German Shapard guy?

[Tron]

Yes, No

[solid]

I'm sure you've seen him in a movie or two (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0080049/)

Good rapper, and I believe he was in "Bamboozled" the worst Spike Lee film ever so bad actor.

What about his turn as the representatives for the blacks in the Racial Draft skit for the Chappelle Show? What about Something the Lord Made(haven't seen it, but heard he is good in it)? I have a feeling he will suck in HHGttU, tho.

His performance on Chapelle's Show sitting passenger seat while Dave is driving is the [censored].

I can't find any reference to this. Linky?

[Vince Young]

Good/Bad, but not as bad as DMX.

With this avatar, I feel I am compelled to reply. Meh rapper, excellent actor.

His turn in BAMBOOZLED is awesome: "Know'mean, know'm sayin'? Nahmean nahmsayin!" (sorry Beerfund) and he's pretty damn good in MONSTER'S BALL and THE ITALIAN JOB too.

I can't believe so many people are giving Mos meh's. Put him on a track with Talib and they are two of the best.

Alone he is able to experiment and produces some excellent stuff as well. Mos > 95% of other rappers

[Vince Young]

How could you have a Mos Def avatar and think he is a meh rapper?

Becase he's so awesome. I love the guy; just more as an actor. I mean, he's not a bad rapper at all. But I prefer guys like Mr. Lif (now) and Chuck D (then). What was that MTV show he did really briefly that was sort of a sketch/musical/variety show? He rocked on that, and in those movies I mentioned.

And in this pose, he is intimidating and cool. He is pensive, considering making the switch from rapping to movies permanently.

Good/Meh.

But he's got a lot of upside.
