Signed to GOOD music, he called it a "new beginning". I will still call him Mos Def though.

Because that's his REAL name, whereas Mos Def is just his rap name...

I didn't say government name, now did I? He is a muslim, and when someone becomes a muslim they adopt an Arabic name, hence the name Yassin Bey. It's not just a stage name.

Mos Def has always been top 5 all-time for me. His versitility, creativity and complexy make this guy one of the greatest.
For example, he went in the complete opposite direction with this song compared with the official version and still managed to make one hell of a song. And even though he's weird as fuck he doesn't approve of hipsters in rap(Kanye???). (as shown in this song. Strange HUH!)
