No, it's not a rerun -- rap legend Mos Def is accused of causing another violent encounter with a photographer, this time in Las Vegas.

Mos was hangin' at the star-studded MAGIC fashion convention at the Las Vegas Hilton when he allegedly flipped out on a snapper -- not a pap -- yanking the camera from his neck and causing a small cut on the the shooter's hand. Mos then allegedly gave the camera to a security guard and took off.

Mos is now being investigated for larceny from a person.

Yea, who knows where Mos Def resides?

So i guess you didn't like the movie.

Jack Black is the least funny most over-rated actor I've ever seen. Just figured I'd throw that in since you mentioned that movie.

Mos Def lives in JC now? I thought he was all about Bed Stuy? What neighborhood does he live in? With his money he's probably in one of the towers on the waterfront.

I totaly dug that moview he did with Jack Black. Be Kind Rewind.

Jersey City resident, rapper/actor Mos Def partners with streetwear label Undrcrwn for a new cut-and-sewn collection



Rapper/actor Mos Def is tipping his toes into the design field.

He will be teaming up with Philly-based streetwear label Undrcrwn for a 14-piece cut-and-sewn capsule collection for spring 2009. The three year old Undrcrwn brand was introduced to Mos Def at the industry heavyweight MAGIC trade show.

?It all went down in about 90 days, but I feel like I?ve known these guys forever,? said Mos Def during an interview near his apartment in Jersey City. ?When you meet a good friend, you just feel the connection.?

Undrcrwn?s creative director, Dustin Canalin, described Mos Def as ?a popular figure in the streetwear culture, and a true artist. He looks at creativity first, and dollars later.?

Canalin spoke of applying Mos Def?s DNA to Undrcrwn?s DNA through pieces such as nylon jackets with upside down flags and t-shirrts with bandana stripes. Colors and prints were incorporated from the 2004 Dead Prez album ?RBG:Revolutionary But Gangsta?.

?A lot of it was just child?s play,? Canalin said. ?It?s just playing around with things, and saying, ?People always do this, let?s not do that.??

?I come from a place where how stylish or fashionable you were had nothing to do with how much money you had,? Mos Def explained. ?Brands like Supreme are giving luxury brands a big run for their money. These types of brands represent a certain type of perspective and a new kind of status.?

The line will be called ?Mos Def designed by Dustin Canalin for Undrcrwn,? and will retail from $36 to $200.
