Christopher Hitchens vs Mos Def

Posted: March 31, 2009 at 8:39 am | Tags: , , , , ,

OK, So having Mos Def on the same panel with Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie is like sending a one legged man to an ass kicking contest. Borat has made more sense.

I love the part where he say he doesn’t know what Bin Laden says in his videos because he doesn’t speak Arabic. OK, not like there is no shortage people who can translate it for you. And the part where he makes a big point of saying he doesn’t mind holding the unpopular idea, DUH MOS! You are sitting next to Salman Rushdie and two unabashed atheist. From what I can see Mos doesn’t mind holding a stupid idea.

And what is it with rappers and these days? Snoop Dogg joins the Nation of Islam Could this be what too many drugs do for you?

    The best way to describe Mos Def on this episode is “thought salad”. I love how he brazenly states how he likes to hold unpopular opinions sitting next to Salman Rusdie and across from Christopher Hitchens.
