Mos def is probably one of the only rappers that can get political/conscience… and not sound corny … legend

do you have any footage of that Central Park show from like 98 or 99 that had like Black Star and Pharoahe Monch and all the Rawkus adjacent artists performing? the one that classic Mos Def freestyle is from.

We were at that show, but not filming. Thanks for watching the show.
