First, let it be said that the Mighty Mos Def + The King Of Pop = a damn good show. So Mos mosies his way into yours truly's hometown and gets his "mic check one-two" on at the House Of Blues two Sundays ago, right ? Now I'm always down to see Black Dante do his thing because he has one of the more unexpected stage shows in hip hop, no two are the same. But call it arrogance if you will but I always expect him to rock a little harder whenever he comes to the Windy and [...]

A Michael Jackson tribute seems to become near obligatory now (not that I mind) and Mos Def channelled the little King of Pop in him and performed a more than ok rendition of Billie Jean , even busted out the Moonwalk .

Mos Def's The Ecstatic is winning critical plaudits, and has even been sold in a unique format—if you buy a T-Shirt with the album cover on the front, you get a free digital download of the record. The hip-hop star has also been playing live, and pays a unique tribute to Michael Jackson in this clip. The fan-shot video was taken at the House of Blues in Chicago, where Mos Def did his own unique version of Jackson's "Billie Jean." It's a much slower, somewhat labored version of the song, which begins [...]

I know I just hit you with a bunch of videos, but I couldn't pass this up. Rappers rapping about Michael Jackson is an okay tribute, but how many of them can actually take on an MJ song? Mos Def puts his spin on "Billie Jean" and sounds good! And he moonwalks! Mos Def ftw. Pigeons and Planes
