I am sooooooo upset right now. I just found out today that Mos Def is gonna be at the 9:30 Club tonight in DC. Anybody who knows me knows how big of a Mos Def fan. I would give anything to see that man perform live, to touch his hand, just to be in his presence! I would go if I could find somebody to go with but none of my friends are into Mos Def, let alone Underground Hip Hop music. Even my BF won't go with me, he accused me of being a "groupie". THE NERVE!

I am sooooo sad. Weep with me.

Dammit Pen, dammit Steve, why can't ya'll live in MD.

Damnit....I am so down to see Mos Def....But I live all the way in Michigan I would go with yah just go by yourself it could be fun still

lol. I can't walk around DC by myself. don't you know i am an easy target?

^ really? how so?
could your..sister come with you?

my sister is 17. she can't protect me, let alone DRIVE me.

And um... DC isn't the safest place to linger around by yourself after hours...

Damn...well hopefully you can find someway to go!...Good luck

Tic tic tic... its 6:18.... it starts at 8:30... it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there... and of course I need time to get ready so I can put on my hottest outfit so he can fall in love with me and ask me to marry him and procreate. Darn.

Man... see this ONE example of why we need to promote good artists. I can't believe none of my friends want to see him...

awww!!!! i feel really sorry for you. i have no ideas though...

just go alone? if you loved mos def that much, you'd take the risk to just go and be seen alone. i've done it, it was risky but worth it

I'm in DC. Hehe

Damn... looks like I'll have to miss him tonight.

awww that sucks for you i saw mos def preform at san francisco a while back and jin opened for him.. great event lol

and i couldnt go with you anyways cause im not 18

I hate this... he probably won't even be back for another 38741902378 years.

I guess we will never meet. *sigh*

WHAT he was? lol. damn where was it at?
the only time i was aware Jin was in SF when he came to Stonestown to autograph some CDs. oh he`s fine.

i recently saw Mos Def's video.. i don`t know what song but he looks familar. he was in The Italian Job?

it was right after my birthday i think october 21st

yeah he was in the italian job

I would go but not if he was performin' shit off his new album... actually, I probably would try to get 'em to hear me spit 'n help me get signed... LMFAO

Mos Def's still the truth, EVEN THOUGH HIS NEW ALBUM SUCKED IMO!

DID NOT!

sorry, it did though.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for the album...

MORE HIP HOP NEEDED... HE'S A GREAT MC... DECENT SINGER....

he has to MC... worry about his rhymes more cuz he obviously didn't spit up to his potential

I'll admit that... his hip-hop tracks did not match the greatness of those on his previous albums. But I think it was a great album nonetheless. I admire he had the balls to experiment and expand his musical talent outside the hip-hop realm.

"Sunshine" showcases his greatness, I think. And a few of the other tracks were genius as well... such as "Beggar" and "Modern Marvel".

Sunshine doesn't showcase "greatness"... it was WAY subpar for Mos Def... DEFINITELY... it was a cool track but a "cool track" isn't enough for Mos Def... last two albums he's been on were classics... he can't come with subpar stuff...

and I don't give props for "balls"... I have balls, so do I deserve props? LMFAO... jus' playin' but I respect "good music"... I don't care what form of music you make but you should stick to what you're good at... if you're not good at somethin' and try to do it, I won't like/respect it...

I respect Mos Def for his achievements but if his next album doesn't show off his actual skill then I'm not coppin' that one either...

Yeah, I found out last month that he was gonna be @ the 9:30 Club. I was sooooo pissed because I'm @ school in NY and I wouldn't've been able to go. It seems like all the good artists are coming to DC now that I'm in college

dont hurt me, but is he a rapper or just a rock singer? >.<;;

He's a rapper, Susan

he raps, he sings, he rocks, he acts. u name it. very multitalented.

And very sexy.

Yeah, my hubby is sexy ain't he.

Truly.

And he's one of those people that stimulate the mind, and that's incredibly sexy.
