This is a personal blog dedicated to, Yasiin Bey, formally known as Mos Def. As a great musician, actor, speaker, and writer I thought it was high time there was something solely made to showcase his many works. Whether it be to express the community adoration or just my own. Yasiin Bey is the ultimate Renaissance man. And it goes without saying I’m completely in love with his person. I hope I get to meet him one day, but until then this is about as good as it gets for me!! I hope you enjoy the blog.Tumblr (3.0; @black-dante)http://black-dante.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/636faf412594a2b42bdaf7cb2a36e5ea/tumblr_mn7ttcO4qW1r59fduo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Just look at him.</p>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51126189163http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51126189163Thu, 23 May 2013 00:06:13 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f42669c1e4af7e45f525115ed6a9bb49/tumblr_mlih34aXwA1sosxwco3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7f76000d4c1978c7aa84d942b61e0373/tumblr_mlih34aXwA1sosxwco4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5d853c768900a04c5adb744e0280a24f/tumblr_mlih34aXwA1sosxwco2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thatcoolbandpic.tumblr.com/post/48363870519/mos-def-by-liroy-photography">thatcoolbandpic</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mos Def, by <a href="http://liroyphotography.com/Mos-Def">Liroy Photography</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Future husband! ❤</p>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51116912711http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51116912711Wed, 22 May 2013 22:01:16 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a32dc0aa0fdcf30f716a700b05871b6a/tumblr_mmp8taTpsZ1qces3co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fly!</p>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51080751139http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51080751139Wed, 22 May 2013 13:43:34 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ef7ba5e3eb0b3f1750f2425b8dbd9ef7/tumblr_mmwprmSBDs1rzxq54o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51072572412http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51072572412Wed, 22 May 2013 11:09:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d254017097cf69b1a0c93fd1cac6a301/tumblr_mf6wt3TY6Q1qbknh9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://musicthatspeaks.tumblr.com/post/50762131374/vincent-mason-mos-def-and-questlove" class="tumblr_blog">musicthatspeaks</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>*Vincent Mason, Mos Def and Questlove</p></blockquote>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51065848083http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51065848083Wed, 22 May 2013 08:34:46 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0df6db7ba657eaeeb4881843a837b32a/tumblr_mn0owsPkzP1r87mu5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://nyc-the-birth-of-hip-hop.tumblr.com/post/50766909981" class="tumblr_blog">nyc-the-birth-of-hip-hop</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Mos def and Common</p></blockquote>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51034628178http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51034628178Tue, 21 May 2013 21:26:15 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/df46d110115e457c2f162bf0eb813a69/tumblr_mn6c0m1yT21rwq3p4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51030050695" class="tumblr_blog">black-dante</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>BIG BLACK AFRICAN</p></blockquote>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51030571307http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51030571307Tue, 21 May 2013 20:35:49 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/df46d110115e457c2f162bf0eb813a69/tumblr_mn6c0m1yT21rwq3p4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>BIG BLACK AFRICAN</p>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51030050695http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51030050695Tue, 21 May 2013 20:29:10 -0400mos defbamboozled<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6e87151659096f59b47eae035da4b250/tumblr_mn6bwzRTYi1qkt94bo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://beam-meh-up-scotty.tumblr.com/post/51029879547/sexy" class="tumblr_blog">beam-meh-up-scotty</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Sexy!!!!!!!!</p></blockquote>http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51029892742http://black-dante.tumblr.com/post/51029892742Tue, 21 May 2013 20:27:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aecb857f28ce489ba196a849b33c916e/tumblr_mn0259E7yN1qmvyudo7_500.jpg"/><br/> Foto por geSSé Silva -
