Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
Image
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
Image
At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.
Mos Def
Image
I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.

Man, I smashed her like an Idaho Potato

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.
