Mos Def pulled the most rock and roll move of anybody last night at the VMA’s, but it didn’t make it onto the broadcast. Def rolled up to Radio City Music Hall on the back of a flatbed truck and started performing his politically charged tune “Katrina Clap,” a condemnation of the Bush administration’s snails’-pace response to hurricane Katrina. The police weren’t having any of it, and arrested him mid-show, along with several members of his entourage. The rapper/actor was released early this morning the fracas may have just begun: Members of Def’s posse say they have video recordings of the entire drama.
