(The following is a quote from the article from FILTER)
From collaborative hip-hop albums to starring in high-budget studio movies to Emmy-nominated television performances, Mos Def has always been able to shed the expectations applied to hip-hop artists in attempts for a fuller, diverse artistic career. Yet, even among all these transformations, Mos Def has still been able to produce creative, intelligent music designed not only for enjoyable listening, but powerful philosophic and political thought. Now, on the heels of releasing his fourth solo studio album, The Ecstatic, Mos Def joined FILTER for a discussion on the responsibilities that hip-hop artists have towards their fans, the importance of not becoming larger than life, and plans to release a documentary film on the obscure rock band Death.
