cornell west.... who cares.
did you even listen to the content of this? how his voice/accent bears any relevance to what he had to say is beyond me. valuable opinion? i think not
mos def might have a speech disorder, but luckily we can understand him alright.
cornell west.... who cares.
yeah, just the kind of retarded comment that you'd expect from people who can't see past the end of their eyelash. Go you
As Kant used to say -
it's an a priori faculty, motherfuckers
wtf why the downvotes
Well, since you asked, let's go back to your original quote (before you sarcastically edited it)...
"wow, Mos Def sounded much more intelligent on HHGTTG.... the "IQ 80" accent does not suit him"
The IQ 80 accent? As if everyone who speaks "ghetto" or uses slang must be unintelligent. No, Mos Def should go back to the corrupt and despicable school system of the ghetto (he grew up in Brooklyn) and learn himself some real English so us whiteys can understand him better! Then maybe he'll be more accepted into the mainstream media instead of being written off as another tokin' black guy for Uncle Sam to chuckle at. In reality, Mos Def is one of the leading underground hip-hop artists of our time, a man who actually has a message to his music, unlike 90% of the c"rap" that's out there talking about bling, guns and hoes. And as seen here, he's willing to speak his mind and say things in public that many people have thought but are too afraid (read: no balls) to say.
The accent doesn't "suit" him? Please. Do us a jig Mos! As if he's putting on some kind of act. Then to say he sounded more intelligent in some cheesy kiddy movie where he WAS acting, completely degrades what this man has accomplished in his lifetime - and believe me, HHGTTG is barely a blip on his radar.
On to the next quote...
"mos def might have a speech disorder, but luckily we can understand him alright.
cornell west.... who cares."
Speech disorder - pfft, yeah. Maybe he should start talking "more white" so that we can translate this foreign ebonic jibberish. See above.
Cornel West... who cares? Right, he's only a former Harvard professor, current Princeton professor, a best-selling author, civil rights activist, a well-respected sociologist and social critic especially when it comes to matters of race and religion, etc. etc. Nope, he's just using a bunch of big phony words I can't follow, therefore he must be talking out of his ass. In fact, Cornel West has many more meaningful things to say than you or I probably ever will.
I never thought I would give out downvotes, especially to people who upvoted my own video, but those comments completely missed the point.
Hilarious.
That's debatable. He has been quoted as both denying and accepting responsibility for the attacks.
The validity of the statements on either side is questionable as well.
Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Nigeria, Mauritania
I like Mos Def, but his views on islam are just as fucked up as someone from a fundementalist megachurch.
Also, food for the conspiracy crackpots, at 1:56-57 Maher does the 'devil sign' AT THE SAME TIME HE'S REJECTING THAT THE GOVERMENT IS RESPONSIBLE!

dumm dummmm dummm DUUUUMMMM
Disco, Mos Def has a speaking disorder, I've known him for 8 years.
I didn't know that, but I do know I overreacted to those comments. Ah, beer.
