The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?

To me, it's like happiness is about happiness, but happiness is a fight.

What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.

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.

You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.

I tell people all the time, I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater. But, I didn't wanna do all of this. I would've been satisfied to do it, like, on the weekends among friends, and to have a regular job.

If 'Life in Marvelous Times' can't get on the radio, then I don't need to be on the radio.

I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.

Fame is like getting across the street. It's like, if there's nothing to be across the street for, it's a pointless destination. It's like, I gotta get across the street, man! I gotta be there! I gotta be there! Then you get across the street and you're like, Yeah I'm here! And then, that's it. Fame doesn't make you particularly happy.

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.

Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
Mos Def

I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
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

Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?

There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.

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...

With guys I revere, like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X, their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed, you know?

They say that when a man faces his destiny, the destiny ends and he becomes the man that he really is.

I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.
