best breath control and mic skills ive ever seen. he actually raps, no back track, no bullshit, still playing the classics. peace to mighty mos, real hip hop.

[@thedfferencetab1977]

Ive said this when Ive seen him at the Apollo back in 2016... its insane. up there with him are Black Thought, KRS and Busta..

[@sybergaus]

Jadakiss as well

[@thejoydivision8]

Real hip hop.

[@xzlrxog9968]

Mos Def is a genuinely happy man. One of the only celebrities I respect.

[@designatedpiledriver8216]

no, he isn't. he is actually grump as fuck in person

[@gliza]

Designated Piledriver lol. Yep! But he makes songs that make me happy.

[@twinshadi]

does the crowd not know they have a legend performing in front of there own eyes 👀wtf

[@vlad_rubaka]

Word. The most part of these "spectators" is the people that don`t even listen at least one album of Mos Def but they have friends who can get you a pass on the battle (because battle is not for everybody, it`s a "close" event). Moreover, the ambiance and furnishing on the battle are differs from the concert - people come to V1 for dance battles, not for the music.

[@diegonecomontecino6942]

How about that kid on his cell phone, the whole time. WTF

[@dhginadean]

They have no clue. i'm bouncin all over the place...diggin his vocals...this is great. im more excited than these spectators. an watchin from the lap top, in the bed!!! smh they have no clue

[@tubakorgphone]

Holy shit the crowd! They didn't deserve to witness most def, especially the set he had I mean wtf! I would of died and gone to heaven 5 times if I were there.

[@bigsteezie7441]

ago (edited) The opening track is from the Vis a Vis band from Ghana 🇬🇭 also sampled by Martin Solveig fir a track called Cabo parano

[@melanchomusic1773]

the song around minutes 44 ?

[@poerava]

I first thought that 99% of that crowd don’t deserve to be there, then I read a few comments of european crowds in being respect and awe with stillness. I can rock with that.

[@doriansgrave1009]

Yup. That's how it is around these parts. Plus, it's not a concert, it's more of a showcase or a class learning about HipHop.

[@omarrd33]

Auditorium brings tears to my eyes. The melancholy in the lyrics and beat are out of this damn world. I love MOS.

[@redblazer29]

It samples a 90s Bollywood(Indian Cinema) song.

[@brandongaskins9045]

I came for the name I stayed for the message.. One World One Love

[@soosket]

This is phenomenal. The first track is an instrumental from a Ghanaian highlife legend Alhaji K Frimpong from a song titled "Chen Chen bi adi mawu" Mos is definitely tapping deep from his roots in Africa.

[@scamthonations345]

thanks a lot am defenately checking Alhaji

[@djkojo17]

Correction its Vis A Vis - Obi Agei Mi Dofo Meaning "Someone stole my girlfriend" Recorded in 1977 lead Vocals by Anthony Yeboah. Both Vis A Vis and Alahji K Frimpong were on the same label Ofo Bros (Ofori Brothers) If you've noticed they have a similar sound, this was mainly because Vis A Vis Band featured on most of his albums. Check out Sammy Cropper and his Wire Connection (Lead guitarist) released in 1978 on Makossa Label Album title "Papa Akwasi" produced by A.K. Brobbey from Kumasi. He was also a Record dealer.

[@binklydinkler1032]

Check out the album Ghana special modern highlife Afro sounds ghanian blues 1968-81 it is so good and also has obi agye me dofo

[@FifeAvenue]

Nope....it's the same backing band but they released their own track ago (edited) as the Vis a Vis band from Ghana 🇬🇭 also sampled by Martin Solveig fir a track called Cabo parano

[@MrOx-sf6em]

Thank you ive been trying to find this everwhere

[@blockchainbron]

He is beastin...breath control is stupid...one hit after the other...not missing a beat. This set is amazing and they are just staring into the beyond...man...bring this back to the US and go on tour so we can really rock with a brotha! Dude a straight legend!

[@martilack]

well said.

[@shinebabyshine.]

Soul and spirit all the way through ❤️

[@garfieldharrison510]

Mos Def(Yasiin Bey) is one of my favorites. He is authentic Hip Hop. They probably expected him to be the typical image they expected. He's not. So out of respect their listening. This makes performance even more exciting. He got them paying attention. He's coming from a spiritual aspect of the message of hip hop . This is a Brooklyn King.

[@jamilledaniel5071]

His aura is INCREDIBLE 💙. Mighty MOS!!

[@ADayInTheLifeofBS]

This made me emotional, I can’t contain myself, His vibe is contagious. Thankful to have the opportunity to experience this through the screen! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@BantuTu]

Cannot contain myself. Yes right exactly, that is exactly it!

[@MrSimZOldSchoolRev]

The Great Mos Def AKA Yasiin Bey. Always in my top five artists/MC's. The music is always incredible... Peace & Love..

[@glomungar]

It is one of my ultimate dreams to be able to see this man, the one and only Mos, Yasiin Bey, live. A Brooklyn Shakespeare, a master craftsman and living legend.

[@abokwu]

I had the honor of meeting him in Baltimore .. photographed his performance .. he is a legend

[@mrcanntell]

YOOO I played this concert on the big screen in my loft and I really made me feel as if I was in the Concert...It was a Great Bey Performance.. Big Respect Bey and Keep it goin....

[@thoughrobredboss7814]

That sounds nice!!!Did you also play it on surround sound???

[@stuyvesantrockwell7070]

Instrumental taken from vis-vis Ghanaian Highlife fusion classic Obi Agye mi dofo. Bey really dug deep in the black music archive for his gem. Most of the audience have know idea 💡

[@FrictionCreativeProductions]

The first song 'Fear not of man' mixed with the Ghanaian highlife song...cannot stop listening to that one. Toooooo nice!!

[@realhiphopsince1987]

Mos had a good time performing. Straight from the heart ❤. Much love

Amazing show, Mos Def still got the essence

[@bigstuckey0918]

The crowd was clearly blown away, nice job yaseem !!!

[@isaacshouldice8606]

How can you possibly dislike this?!

[@deeayeveeeyedee3793]

It’s crazy watching Mos go through his creative process during this show, the way he finishes one song and blends into the next is incredible….it’s almost like he ends up there rather than planning to be there. Right around the 43:00 minute mark he hits this amazing stride and by 48:30 he’s literally spinning in circles like a top while the music crescendos. So dope, such an amazing talent.

[@cassimshabazz]

DID HE JUST SING THE FIRST VERSE 4 TIMES???.....DID I JUST ENJOY EVERY MINUTE..... NOOO DOUBT.

[@user-om5mm7yk4i]

Поверить не могу что он приезжал . Спасибо организаторам!

His performance was so beautiful. I watched the entire thing. The crowd comes alive and then he takes them on a musical journey that had the power to set minds free. Thank you Mos Def!

[@reekfarida8208]

Mos Def is magical, the flow, the singing n dancing😍😍

[@ermetg2143]

They know who Def be.... Legend isnt a Big enough word. I first saw this Living Legend Perform in Washington Square Park for free in summer 1989 or 90. I paid to see him perform at the "Muse" meat packing district that same winter. Those people are in 'SHOCK' ! How do you behave when God is on stage. Everyone is Breathless...micdrops.. He been the Best.. Most soulful, Lyrical,Original. Fuck a Chart topping single ... We already Know... He's one of the MCs that come before the Top 5.. Somebody tell him... We said it.

[@ramsfire]

Contrary to how it appears on the surface, I get the impression that This Crowd is TOTALLY FEELIN' our Brother Yasiin. Around 30+ minutes they were Rockin' with the Brother "Mos Definitely". ShalomPeaceSalaam THEY KNOW AND ROCK...... "PUSHKIN". BUHLEEEDAT!

[@lithelight1954]

I am now behind schedule because I found this haha been jamming for 35 mins! I'm finally pressing pause so I can get in the car and drive to the laundromat 🥰 put in my earbuds and listen to the rest! Good vibes!!

Mos looked like he was filled with the spirit of Marvin Gaye by his body language!

[@vernoncollinsjr]

Some MJ 2

[@eyeamtheomen]

This is a perfect HD recording of a stellar display of masterful artistry. If your perception of the crowd's reception is a distraction, your big takeaway, or what motivated a comment, then you are the one who really does not appreciate what Yasiin gave us here.

[@RaiRaiBrown]

I would have been loosing my mind with excitement at this show!
