Quick Hit: The End of the Mos Def Era (Video)

Get More: Sucker Free



Mos Def is without question one of the reasons I fell in love with hip-hop. "Black on Both Sides" easily earns rotation in my greatest albums of all-time list, but there's just no getting around the fact that the man hasn't really made dope music in years. So although it's largely symbolic, and I completely get why he's doing it, I can't help but feel sad to learn that Mos will no longer be Mos - instead he's now going with the name Yasiin.

More power to you Yasiin - now if you'll excuse me I'm going to spend the rest of my afternoon playing some classic Mos Def.
