More quotes by Mos Def
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is.
Mos Def
I think hip-hop is actually one of the most challenging things that's happened in music in a long time. The people who are in charge of what people see or hear are afraid. What you hear on top 40 or what you see on BET or MTV is not a fair representation of what is really going on...
Mos Def
You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day.
Mos Def
You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.
Mos Def
I'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil' Wayne

Mos Def
I can't take it y'all I can feel the city breathin Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening Sigh before we die like the last train leaving
Mos Def
I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.
Mos Def
Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle whatever you do.
Mos Def
I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.
Mos Def
I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.
Mos Def
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once. Ass so fat that you could see it from the front.
Mos Def
At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.
Mos Def
We can be beautiful and feel beautiful about who we are everyday.
