This is a pretty dope all-access, behind the scenes type of documentary with Mos Def shot by the folks from Current TV.  It follows Mos throughout Japan and documents his interaction with and appreciation of the Japanese culture.

Mos discusses everything from his love for Japanese fashion, to the inspiration to his new album, to expanding “his” Japanese burger chain into the US.  The one thing that gets me the most though…professional Japanese baseball has cheerleaders!  In the US, baseball is the only of the three major sports to lack cheerleaders.  Quite upsetting.

Anyway though, the documentary is almost 50 minutes long and is a great insight not only to Mos Def but also the Japanese and their customs.  Check it out.
