I appreciate that he's a celebrity yet he's aware and a people watcher. most celebrities become the centers of their own world when they get famous. they don't look around. but yasiin notices his surroundings, he's thankful for his experiences. that's part of what makes him so dope
"'You can't stop my goal, I'm born to be what I am.' You can't stop history. You can't stop a determined soul really aimed at being a source of good in the world. You can't stop that. So don't be on the wrong side of history. You don't want to be on the side of history that posed in opposition to those spirits. You want to be on the side of history that helped cultivate those spirits -- for your own sake."
Been quoting him on that forever. It's one of the most powerful things I've heard from someone alive in this day and age. There's so many gems in here. Great doc!
I would like to thank you, @pixelboxer for uploading this full documentary. It no longer exists even on current tv's site since they decided to turn into a retarded political channel that no longer plays any re-runs and or shows about music or art like they used to. This documentary is classic and easily makes anyone fall in love with Mos Def's legend and music. THANK YOU!
@TheBlastaway "Japon" is how the French refer to Japan, or Nihon. i'd assume the guy who uploaded it is French, or got it from a French source. i've been searching everywhere for this since they took it off Hulu. thanks a million for the upload :)

WHOA. Read 9:35, 9:40, 9:43 and on.. everything in the transcript is somehow socially, politically, economically connected. It might just be my crazy brain acting up again.

He admitted to misspelling it. I guess it is by chance that it's also how the French refer to Japan.
Read from any part of the interactive transcript. It all sounds like a poetic hidden conspiracy message LOL.
