The Mighty Mos Def - Mathematics

First time I ever heard Mos Def was when I bought a mixtape downtown back in 1996. He was featured on this song by the Bush Babees
"The Love Song"

The drums from this tune right here has been sampled hundreds of times in hip hop. I think this is the first time we've seen a Lee Dorsey inclusion here.

Ry Cooder, imo, is one of the best and versatile guitarists. He has recorded albums in many genres, from rock to jazz to country and Spanish style.

I remember going to see this downtown at the Eaton Centre when I was 11 years old. A classic film about hip hop culture.
