Mos Def performs Jay Electronica at Carnegie Hall

Wow, that’s a big moment for Jay Electronica.
My pal FWMJ sent over this audio of Mos Def performing the second part of “Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (the Pledge)” during his JVC Jazz Festival show with Gil Scott-Heron. The orchestra follows with a bit of the “Eternal Sunshine” movie soundtrack. Wow.
Its a bit echo-y in the legendary music hall, but you can see how hip hop lyrical works will be re-performed and analyzed for centuries to come : )

*oops, I fixed the link…no longer are the rap intelligensia offended by TI’s “louis rag” hhahahaa!*
Go to Okayplayer for more of details and Terrence Jennings’ photos from Mos Def’s show.
I’m curious to hear what Jay’s reaction to that moment was. Perhaps we’ll hear it in song.

Yo someone tell Mos Def, G-Unit want the hat from Rider Pt.2 video back.
Mos Def is real though, I respect how he handled the whole Hurricane Katrina situation. I’ve being paying attention to dude ever since “2 Words” Feat Ye & Freeway.
Sounds like they are gettin their Mozart or Antonio Lolli swag on.
@#7 A lot of cats don’t have swag, so it takes time to develop it if they are not born with it. I ain’t gonna front I got my swag from looking at my Dad’s wordrobe and my Moms cordination and my game from the O.G’s aka my Grandparents. So I got no choice but to stay fly….ya dig?
