One, two, three. Mos Def and Talib Kweli are back together once again with ‘History’ off ‘The Ecstatic’ (2009) album. There is no denying that everytime these two heavyweights get together people stop and take notice. Creative Control give the original black and white video a bit of a color edit making it even more visually appealing.
I saw this video last weekend and was blown away. Just everything from the fashion, the amazing dance moves, and a young Stevie Wonder singing ‘Superstition’ on ‘Soul Train’ makes this one of my all time favorites. I love the fact that a great song and video like this one from the 1970’s can continue to connect with so many generations. Heck I’m sure it will continue playing and keep people dancing for lifetimes. I know I will.
