Just found out that Mos Def is playing this Saturday at Seattle's Moore Theater in Belltown. As much as I like Mos Def, the show is $38 and with my minimum wage budget I probably won't be able to make it. If somehow I come across 40 bucks in the next two days (anyone wanna buy some weed???) I will definitely make it out to Belltown and see a living legend. Although Mos Def's newer albums are not nearly on the same lyrical level as his work with Talib Kweli on Black Star his debut Black on Both Sides seeing him live would make for a better Saturday night than just sitting around drinking cheap beer (much better to drink cheap beer and watch live hip-hop). If you live in Sea-town and have 40 bucks to spare by all means check this shit out! And make sure to comment and let us all know how it was (pictures are always nice too). If you are poor like the rest of us, then bump Black Star and pretend that Mos Def isn't pursuing a not-so-great acting career and still releasing gems for all the true heads out there.Mos Def fun fact: Mos Def's first appearance on an imprint was Da Bush Babee's sophomore effort Gravity (pretty damn good, check it out) on the track "Love Song", where he sings, not raps, the chorus.
