During one of the last stops of the Ecstatic Tour, Mos Def takes some time out to defend Kanye for his actions at this years VMAs. Jay Leno better watch out…

“C’Mon Son!? fluck oudda here wit dat shid” mos. He was drunk and played himself. The Preacher and the congressmen were not drunk they’re just racist fucks. This is what VIA satelite is for, niggas like KANYE. Rite Shake?
Obama getting interrupted is racist but what Kanye did isn’t? Get the fuck outta here. And u gonna go after Jay of all people? I just lost all respect for Mos Def…
He got right to defend Kanye and all as his friend, and I agree with what he said ’bout Kanye just expressin his opinion and he’s apologised now… but he kinda wrecked the point after that with the whole “racist Obama haters” part. That said, I’ve seen some people write on the net that Kanye was racist for what he did, which is bullshit. Good on Mos for backing up his brother, but he coulda thought about what he was sayin more.
what do you mean of all people? if jay leno is the one who brought it up for that reaction, who else are you supposed to direct that comment towards?
and you can watch cnn and see people like jame carville tell you that joe wilson is a neo-confederate. which would make a lot of what he shouts out towards the president negative and with racial undertones. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPEAKING.
so no, this doesnt make kanye racist. it makes him expressive while mildly intoxicated.
the only thing that bugs me here is the STUPIDITY of ppl, when u listen to mos def talkin that bullshit u can actually hear teh crowd going on with their sheep mentality, its like if a celebrity (forget about the fact that he’s stoned, has half a brain or what not) says your mom is a hoe and your dad is a fag the stupid fans will still be like yeah yeahhhhh mos def is the shit… i mean how fuckin retarded can ppl be ?
what’s mos going at jay leno for? HE LET THEM PERFORM AND LET YE APOLOGIZE! HE’S ON YOUR SIDE BUDDY!
thank god for obama, sick and tired of the fact that all our celebrities are rappers and ballers with half a brain…makin us all look bad…
@Marcus
He let Jay Z perform…. and plus he did it for ratings. I actually thought that was pretty rude too for Jay Leno to ask about what his mom would say. Naturally I thought his response would be “bitch my momma woulda said knock you out for asking me stupid fucking questions” and those people that were saying that the Kanye x Taylor swift incident was racist.. are you serious? or stupid? dropped on your head as a baby? What Kanye said was true and everyone saw the proof later on in the evening when Beyonce won best video of the year meaning she had the best FEMALE video and a better video then all the males
jay leno was fucked up for that bullshit.
mos def is an idiot
I do agree about the whole jay leno thing. He shouldnt have asked kanye about his mother. That in my eyes was just playing dirty for better ratings.
How much can I bet that you “Mos Def is stupid” or “I just lost all respect for Mos Def” saw the title and automatically ignored the point of what he was saying.
and this SHEEP mentality thing? It exists, yes, but chances are, if youre a mos def fan, you agree with what he says or have similar views. and that makes you a sheep?
It’s the dumb fuckin people ……(matter of fact, scratch that dumb part, because that’s exactly the same ignorant ass bullshit yall do that kills your point)…like these that make me like what kanye did. The people that think anything that challenges what they personally believe is wrong/blasphemy/dumb/etc…..because those people are just as bad as the people that agree with anything said on tv.
Mos is that dude. However, that comment is, like a lot of Mos’ comments, a little off. We need to get away from validating someone’s behavior with a comparison to someone else who misbehaved inappropriately. Will anyone EVER be in the wrong with that thought process? That didn’t work when I tried to use that as my defense for my ill-conduct when pleading “my case (lol)” as a kid to my parents and it shouldn’t work as an adult either. You know, “Billy did this and it’s MUCH worse than what I did!” Come on!!! Kanye was wrong and the politician who interrupted Obama was wrong. Stop validating a wrong act with another wrong act.
SOMEONE SHOULDA TOOK THE MIC FROM MOS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SPEECH AND SAID “UR GOOD, BUT TALIB KWELI HAS HOTTER VERSES THAN YOU” JUST TO SEE WHAT HE SAYS. THIS DEADBEAT DAD IS LOSING POINTS AFTER MAKING A SONG WITH JIM JONES…..
YO MOS DEF…TAKE CARE OF UR KIDS, ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!
IF U DONT LIKE IT, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WALK IT OFF.
I dont think he was validating 1 wrong act with another he was just saying that everything should be treated equally.
And i dont wanna think that what he did was motivated by any racism, BUT WHY DOESN’T GAYFISH(KANYE) DO THAT SHIT TO A REAL MC, OR A “GANGSTA RAPPER” FOR THAT MATTER? WE ALL KNOW WHY………..
mos def is trippin aint even the same concept hes just bringin that up cuz obamas black. what a loser. kanye went up on stage and took the mic from a 19 year old girl after she won her first grammy. dude at speech said you lie from his seat he didnt go up there push him aside and say this dude is out of his mind i think that so and so should be president.
GO KANYE!!!! FUCK BANNA FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLAAA GLAAAA!!!!
Mos Def ain’t trippin. He mentioned that Kanye said it in the wrong way and time, but that’s his boy. Your goina stand boy the people you car about most no matter what they do. And neither Kanye or Jay or even the dude that made the comment against Obama can be called a racist. Damn people need to stop thinking that way. It’s just opinions.
i find it funny mos brings up obama and obama called kanye a jackass.
You people are idiots he means why are people making such a big deal of this but when it came to the Obama thing it wasn’t as highly publicized and talked about. And Jay does deserve a slap because you can’t be asking people that after their Moms has died, that’s disrespectful man.

Mighty Mos Defends Kanye… « MIND INVERSION said this on September 20th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
we all do know why kanye doesnt do it to a rapper, 50 let it be known he would “black his eye”. I think Mos made a mistake, he needs to keep to his own business. Jay Leno wasn’t wrong, it may have seemed harsh, however, what would his mom think? I think his mom would have been ashamed that he was that disrespectful. It doesnt matter if people thought Beyonce should have won, its that she didnt win and he blatantly disrespected someone. I do not think he needs to go around apologizing forever, and I think now that its been more than a week we should all just let it go. But lets not try to make it sound like what he did was ok. Respecting other people is one civil/ human right we all have the personal opportunity to protect. Dont preach about racism or oppression or any other human right infringements, when you can go out and 100% un prompted, go out and disrespect someone, and in front of millions non the less.

I too lost a lot of respect for Mos. That is a legit question, and Jay had told him backstage he was going to ask about his mother. Ye wasn’t upset. Why the fucking fuck is Mos???
