Serene and I attended Mos Def and his band's tribute to J. Dilla last night at the Hill Auditorium. It was an awesome show, but what took the cake was not so much the show itself; rather, it was the King/Chavez/Parks Visiting Professor Award that was presented to Mos Def. The show was a part of UM's MLK day symposium and I thought it was extremely appropriate to not just present a tribute to J. Dilla on that day, but I think that by giving the award to Mos Def, they've given it to a most deserving recipient. You can watch the presentation of the award in the video below (which I lifted from tiffanybee, thx :) )
