and as I promised, here’s the info bout retiring his name..
That’s right provi, Saturday’s gonna be historic–
it’s happening the month of his name-retirement..
AND it’s his birthday weekend. whaaaat?

So Mos Def, by the time 2012 hits, will be known on record as Yasiin.

“I’m retiring the Mos Def name after 2011. I’m actually doing it. Yasiin. That’s it,” he told MTV2′s Sucker Free. “Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years, it’s a name that the streets taught me, a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment, and I feel I’ve done quite a bit with that name and it’s time to expand and move on. Also, I didn’t want to have to deal with having any moniker or separation between the self that I see and know myself as.”

There’s been a lot of back and forth bout this, but to me, whatever the name, Mos Def’s talent will always stay true.
