Mos Def in Hawaii

  • 0:04 - 0:08
    What's politics?
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    They're making me stronger
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    and I'm much more stronger now.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    [upbeat music]
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    Charlie!
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    [Music continues]
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    Turn that off!
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    Open the door!
  • 0:31 - 0:31
    [Music stops]
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    Open the door, boy!
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    Who was that?
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    It's just Mos Def, dad
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    Mos Def again?
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    You can't hear me but you can hear him!?
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    No, not my vinyl!
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    Get your head out of this music!
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    No!
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    You're a freak!
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    [Crying]
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    You're not my son.
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    Narrator: It started with a boy and his love for rap music.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    What's the deal with that kid?
    --I dunno, he's supposed to be deaf
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Than why's he wearing headphones?
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    I dunno, he's just a freak.
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    Freeak!
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Narrator: When no one understands who you are...
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    All he does is hang out with those animals all day.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    Narrator: ...and you feel like there's nowhere to turn.
  • 1:14 - 1:20
    I do the research. Try to prove to myself that he's not a freak. But it's so hard.
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    It's so hard.
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    I know there's a real boy in there somewhere, it's just--
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    all he wants to do is listen to Mos Def.
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    Come on, Charlie!
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    Yeah!
    [laughing]
  • 1:35 - 1:36
    Good catch!
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    Touch down!
    [laughing]
  • 1:37 - 1:41
    I think you're good looking and I like Mos Def too.
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    Narrator: This month, open your ears...
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    [Cries in pain]
    Leave him alone!
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    Narrator: ...to Mos Def
  • 1:49 - 1:54
    Clarice, I had this dream I was on a quest and there was this wizard.
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    He told me he was gonna come, he grabbed me by my hand and pulled me up.
  • 1:59 - 2:04
    He told me that Mos was gonna come, Mos Def here in Hawaii.
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    A wizard?
    --I'm serious
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    You ARE a freak!
    --No, wait!
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    Have you ever thought about maybe joining the army, son?
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    You're a freak!
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    [Crying]

  • 2:24 - 2:28
