I just happened to catch a few minutes of this show 4real.com and they were in Brazil with Mos Def. They were showing the area City of God which is known for its drugs, poverty and THOSE MEN THAT RUN THE CITY! It was quite interesting to watch, it is a place my dad use to go to all the time. I have not yet had the opportunity to visit Brazil, but I definitely will.

Check out Mos Def as he tours through the city. The video below is just an intro but when you go directly to the site you can see some other videos as well
