Comment:

While he might be better known for acting ([i]Chappelle's Show[/i], [i]Be Kind Rewind[/i]) as of late, no starring role can dilute the raw power of Mos Def's music, from the Hitchcock-caliber score of "Sex, Love & Money" to the spare, speaker-imploding beats of "Ghetto Rock." No wonder why he's an honorary member of the legendary Native Tongues collective, right alongside such seminal hip-hop artists as Black Sheep, Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, and Common. Together, they're just a taste of our ear-opening [i]Alternative Hip-Hop[/i] history lesson, a thorough overview of every underground era and scene, including the L.A. uprising of the Pharcyde, Dilated Peoples, and Jurassic 5; the Bay Area broadcasts of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and the Hieroglyphics crew; and the volatile crossover roster of Definitive Jux (featuring Aesop Rock's wicked wordplay, RJD2's beat poetry, and El-P's fearless leadership).
