i did read it. When you first posted it a month ago.

i just think its ridiculous. its like you're taking what Mos Def

does personally. those questions you're asking him, 'don't the

blank stares bother you?' Mos is an artist. He's always done

what he's wanted to do when he wants to do it. It's obvious

at this point he isn't content with just making rap records

and performing them live. take it for what it is and if you enjoy

it all the better. personally, i think what happened with Mos is

similar to what happened to Bob Dylan in the 60s (except on

a much smaller scale for Mos). when he came out with BOBS

after Black Star, everybody was labeling him this one thing and

putting him in a box. i think that made him want to do a lot of

other types of music and performances.
