Mark Ronson, Mos Def and Erykah Badu Appear in New 'Re:Generation' Trailer

On Thursday night, the makers of 'Re:Generation,' the upcoming documentary that features DJs working in unfamiliar genres, unveiled the film's full trailer. While much of the content was the same as the previously released trailer, which you can view here, this updated version featured the first glimpse of Mark Ronson working with Mos Def and Erykah Badu in New Orleans.

"Being down here and having the spirt of New Orleans, the spirt of improvisation, is license to make something that no one's ever heard before," Ronson, who also worked with Trombone Shorty on the track, says in the clip.

Mos Def (yes, that's still his name for a few more months) and Badu can also be seen laying down their verses over Ronson's jazz-inspired track, saying something to the effect of "Your mother don't wear no draws!" Consider us highly intrigued.

'Re:Generation' was directed by Amir Bar-Lev ('The Tillman Story') and is due out sometime in 2012. Skrillex, members of the Doors, DJ Premier, Nas, Crystal Method, Martha Reeves, Pretty Lights and Leann Rimes are also featured in the documentary.

Why of all of a sudden is LeAnn getting so much attention? Ever since she became a homewrecker and married a huge jerk and got even uglier by losing way to much weight, she is constantly making news.

The only time I hear about Leann is when she's going off like a firecracker over someone saying something about how thin she is, or marrying again. She's not made an album in forever. I bought one of her first and it was not worth the chlipboard the cover was printed on.. Terrible album. What does this girl do for the media coverage she gets? She does't sing anymore. Maybe she tours. I wouldn't have access to any of her concerts living where I do. Too bad too, because she has one of the truly great voices of all time.
