On this special hour-long Embedded, Mos Def takes us on an all access seven-day tour of Japan while he performs his new album "The Ecstatic" to packed venues in Tokyo and Osaka.
In part 7, Mos Def puts together the perfect set list and teaches a Japanese crowd the dance he created for his song "Auditorium," then performs it in Japan for the first time ever. Mos opens up about his fears of pushing boundaries when there is so much attention to what he says. "I'm scared all the time," he admits. "But I'm more scared not to try." He gives a passionate, eloquent thank you to the power of hip hop for having allowed him to travel to Japan, a culture so different and far from his own, where he is still recognized on the streets by fans.
