Apparently the Mighty Mos is another one of this guy's inspirations with respect to live performances at least. Not so much the performance, but with being scheduled to appear at like 8:30 and not showing up till about 10:45

Mos does this at like every show he headlines, and then when the crowd is pissed he comes on and says, "Those of you who know me know I never do a show before 10pm, if you see a flier saying Mos is showing up earlier than 10, they're fuckin lying to your ass!"

Fortunately, Mos always gives a stellar performance, at least my experience is that he does.
