Current SF's Embedded Mos Def viewing party [Live blog]
6:04pm -- OH reaction:
6:03pm -- Mos' goodbye is perfect. The closing shot -- even more perfect. Credits are rolling, thanks for playing!
6:01pm -- Wow. Mos Def's thoughts on International reception are pretty heavy hitting.
5:58pm -- I dare you not to bob to the beat of "Auditorium." There. I said it.
5:56pm -- It's inspiring listening to a musician who feels so strongly about something.
5:51pm -- Mos meets up with Marc Kroon, a pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants. He explains that he wears the number 42 for Jackie Robinson because in the US that number can't be worn because it is retired.
5:43pm -- One of the things I've always liked about Mos' music is his use of characters. Learning the inspiration behind "Boogieman" solidifies this for me.
5:42pm -- Mos Def's mask was inspired by MF DOOM. He has a pretty interesting thought process behind its use.
5:40pm -- I snapped a photo of Mos at Mos Burger. Uploading now.
5:33pm -- I love Mos' take on Japan vs. America.
5:31pm -- Wait. Does Mos have his own fast food franchise in Japan?
5:28pm -- I love the behind-the-scenes footage interspersed with Q&A with Mos' Japanese fans.
5:25pm -- This isn't just a spotlight on Mos Def. This is about everyone around him.
5:21pm -- Mos is shopping. I'm a fan of Mos Def. It's really fascinating to find out what he is a fan of. Very meta.
5:19pm -- No matter how many times I hear it, it never gets old hearing Mos Def say,
5:16pm -- OK, credits roll, and Mos Def's Embedded episode is spinning up.

2: "Who doesn't love Mos Def?"
