	Mos Def: The New Danger - PopMatters Music Review
		He solidified his reputation as an MC (well-earned from the dynamite Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star album as well as various singles and guest appearances) while smoothly blending a broad array of styles and genres into his music.
		The song betrays Mos Def's interest in analyzing the spotlight, the role of the entertainer, as does his flface pose in a photo on the inside cover.
		Mos Def's desire to expand the boundaries of hip-hop is admirable, but The New Danger too often feels like it's taking hip-hop backwards, not forwards.

		He is just 30, but already the rapper/singer/actor known as Mos Def embodies a fresh individualism rarely seen in today's bland, focus-group-approved world of entertainment.
		Mos had his big acting break 10 years ago, as a regular on "The Cosby Mysteries," and since then has gone on to perform on Broadway in Suzan-Lori Parks' two-man Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Topdog/Underdog." He nabbed an Obie the next year for Parks' play...

		Mos Def proves his intelligence and knowledge throughout the whole album, from the deep intro, to the thoughtful "Love", to the observant hip hop-ballad "Umi Says", and even the absurd track "New World Water", he does it all.
		Mos Def always had the rep of being the soul of Blackstar, with Kweli as the brain.

		Mos Def is an excellent rapper but I have one slight problem with this album.
		Mos Def's partnership with Talib Kweli produced one of the most important hip-hop albums of the late '90s, 1997's brilliant Black Star.
		In keeping with his goal of restoring hip-hop's sociopolitical consciousness, Def's lyrics are as intelligent and thoughtfully crafted as one would expect, but he doesn't stop there -- he sings quite passably on several tracks, plays live instruments on others (including bass, drums, congas, vibraphone, and keyboards), and even collaborates on a string arrangement.

	Hip Hop and Social Change at The Field Museum
		Mos Def is one such visionary—an MC whose devotion to hip-hop and passion for social consciousness combine with a synergy seldom witnessed in rap history.
		A native Brooklinyte who spent his childhood in neighborhoods like Bedford Stuyesant and East Flatbush, Mos Def grew up in a time where "most of the people who were fans (of hip-hop) were also active fans in the culture in some way.
		Mos Def has expanded his talents to acting: he has starred in the play Top Dog Underdog, and his film credits include roles in The Italian Job, Bamboozled, Monster’s Ball, and Brown Sugar.

		Mos drops some really nice conscious lyrics, although the track is really over-produced with background sounds.
		Mos Def get's back on the Soul tip with "The Panties" which uses some violen samples with a subtle electric guitar and eventually some bass.
		This is one of those cases, I could give Mos props for all his past work and say this is a good album but I would not be expressing my true feelings.

		Mos def should really be talking about his new movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but it's late in the evening, he's been talking about it all day and, to be perfectly frank, he's a little Hitchhiked out.
		Mos Def is short for Most Definitely, which apparently he used to say so much that it became his nickname; his real name is Dante Smith.
		Mos plays Arthur's winningly unflappable (and alien) best friend, and his laid-back vibe was in full effect on the set.

	Mos Def \| pop : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		Sitting in the lobby restaurant of a Manhattan hotel, across the street from a Broadway marquee blaring Mos Def's name, a reporter asks the Brooklyn-born rapper-rocker-actor-writer-bookstore owner-political activist-poet who he listened to coming up.
		At the rate that the sweet-smiling, onetime underground rapper -- who has enough hyphens in his job description to draw a line from Greenpoint to Bed-Stuy -- is pursuing his myriad passions, future astrophysicists might just count him as an influence.
		At age 28, he has already reeled off two critically acclaimed albums; a hosting gig on Def Poetry, Russell Simmons' new-poets showcase on HBO; and appearances in Spike Lee's Bamboozled, the Oscar-winning Monster's Ball, the Robert De Niro-Eddie Murphy comedy Showtime, and the upcoming Taye Diggs drama Brown Sugar.
