Hey, they gotta do something to entertain themselves because the music sure isn't entertaining.

Rap star Mos Def was arrested last night (Aug. 31) after MTV's VMA's because he didn't have authorization to perform outside of Radio City Music Hall in New York.

The rapper, born Dante Smith, was charged with disorderly conduct after attempting to perform on a flatbed truck for a crowd outside of the event.

Police ordered the rapper to end his impromptu performance of "Katrina Clap," a freestyle criticizing the Bush administration's response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

The request to halt the performance was not immediately relayed to MOs Def. According to reports, members of the rapper's entourage were arrested as well.

Representatives for MOs Def said the rapper was unjustly arrested and that the whole situation was captured on camera.

Mos Def was released this morning (Sept. 1).

Has anybody seen the new HP Pavilion adverts with Jay-Z? Hip-hop is one the more viable art forms today.

The HP ads are very good.

It is commercially viable. It pretty much dominates pop music.

It is also artistically viable, with cats like Doom, Ghostface, Madlib, The Roots, and the late J Dilla being among the leaders of the pack.

Sadly, it is not often both at the same time.
