The year 1999 was such a time, as Mos found himself riding a wave of critical (if not commercial) success, triggered by his Black Star collaborative effort with fellow hip hop stalwart Talib Kweli, creatively titled Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star, probably because some rock group had already taken the Black Star name (the same thing happened to failed rap supergroup The Firm). He may be best known as an actor today, starring in films like Be Kind Rewind (which was not a very good movie at all, although I will concede that the overall message was touching, and the ' Sweded' films were mostly pretty funny), but there was once a time when Dante Smith, pornographically known as Mos Def, was focused on his music.
