AL GORE JUST GOT OG STATUS

gangst of the week- MOS DEF

Other than Andre 3000 being named "Sexiest Vegetarian of the Year" in 2004 and several fierce messages about hurricane Katrina, I don't think I've ever seen a member of the hip hop community discussing environmental issues. That's why I was pleasantly surprised to see the always charming Mos Def sit down with Al Gore and talk about global warming.... on MySpace, of all places.

Hip hop is probably the most popular genre of music in America right now. Although their conversation is a little brief it is good to see a rapper in this different role.
